deep injury longer next playing rest seven
We'll try and make some revisions, but I don't know where we will go, yet. We're not a deep team, and we've only been playing six, seven players. This injury could be longer than the next two games; it could be for the rest of the year.
half looked might offensive playing rebounds trips volleyball
We just got manhandled on the glass. On their first possession, it looked like they were playing volleyball on the glass. They might have had half of their offensive rebounds on their first trips down the court.
believe bounce capable easily either fortune good level people players playing prove shape winning word worse
We just don't want to prove them right. At the same time, I don't believe in the word 'overachieve.' I think people are either capable of winning and being 11-4 or they're not capable of it. Our players are capable of playing to this level and that's who we are right now, and we could very easily have been in worse shape without the fortune of a good bounce or two.
gets injured job played playing until wants
Even if he got injured on the first day on the job here and never played for us, we'll keep him on scholarship until he gets a degree. He's not going anywhere. He'll be here and playing for us as long as he wants to.

certainly chance gives
It gives us two practices, and we'll certainly have a chance to try to make some revisions. I don't really know which way we'll go.
came official
I don't know (what happened). I just told the official what I thought and I came out.
approach
We have to approach it like he won't be back.
casual great job lost pressure
We lost our poise. They did a better job in all areas. They put great pressure on us, we started making casual passes, one-handed passes.
games pick plays
He continually makes big plays at the end of games for us. The pick at the end of the game was something we really needed.
badly beaten came guys last proud
I was really proud of how the guys came back. We were beaten about as badly as you can be last Wednesday.
harder played team
I thought they played harder than any team that has come into this building.
deny inability key stretch
I thought that was a key stretch in the game, our inability to deny him the ball.
