absolutely clearly difference free game kept shot throws won
That was the difference in the game. We just kept fouling. They shot 39 free throws in our building. That had absolutely nothing to do with the officiating. That was us. That clearly where the game was won right there.
shots
We got shots contested, but we just got manhandled, I think, for the first time.
basket bell contested easy pick points poison rather shot
You have to pick your poison with them. How many points did Bell have (23)? It's something you had to live with. I'd rather them take contested threes than get an easy shot at the basket inside.
chance fought ourselves position quit shot
We didn't quit and fought back. We put ourselves into a position where, if we make a shot here or there, we have a chance to win.
eight foul percent plenty shoot shots win
That one was tough. We got plenty of shots at the basket, we win the boards, we shoot 44 percent from three, we had 25 assists and only eight turnovers, and we couldn't keep them off the foul line.
couple hit ray shots stops supposed
Ray did what Ray was supposed to do late. He hit some big shots and we got a couple of stops that were real important.
ball hand jump shots took
He took jump shots with a hand in his face. He shot the ball a lot but when he had to make them he made his share.
fought game guys handle ourselves position spread win
Our big guys couldn't handle Kaman and Brand. I thought we fought and got ourselves back in position to win the game. But we let them back in the game when we could have put them away. Not for the game, but for the spread at halftime.
coach concerned dying five four game interest level loyal
Our coach was concerned that the interest level was dying down. We had about four or five loyal guys, but you can't play a game with four or five guys.
defensive finishing miss sets talked
I thought that we just couldn't keep them off the boards. We talked about finishing our defensive sets and we'd get them to miss and then they'd get the rebound.
changing good half practices
I thought under the circumstances of having only one and a half to two practices and changing systems, we were pretty good out there. Overall, I was really pleased.
game good moved proud second won
I think we would have won the game if we'd just had one of them. I was proud of our effort. I was proud of the execution, which was so much better. We moved the ball. We only had 12 turnovers. We had 22 assists. ... . There were some good things in the second half. They were just too big for us.
boil concepts free improve line throw
I think (we can make a run). We have to improve the defense. The concepts are better but it's going to boil down to them. (Tonight) just can't happen. We can't let them go to the free throw line like that.
breakfast good happen impression length talked
I think there is a sense of relief. We talked at length at breakfast and I got the impression that it was going to happen and it was a good feeling. I have been working as if this thing was going to happen, but it's good to know it is done.
