I think he has played that way all the time, we've just had a difficult time getting him the ball consistently where he can do great things with it. But I think he has been playing great all year. |
I think we were already in. |
I think we were already in. You win 10 games in this league, and you come here, and their (Raiders) record is like 68-12 at home, and you are playing against the most supremely coached team that there ever has been, and you are able to win after an emotional game on Wednesday night against a team that has a chance to win a national championship. |
I was determined that we were going to leave him over there [on the bench]. I never thought it would end up like it did. Give them credit for overplaying. |
I wouldn't put anything past this team right here. |
I've never been involved in a game where every person brought that amount of energy to the floor. I've never seen it where guys fought for so hard for 40 minutes on both sides. We just got lucky and made the last shot. |
If we win enough, we're gonna get a chance to play in the tournament. |
It was a real ugly win for us, and that's what we specialize in. |
It was a tough loss and a hard fought game. It was a very competitive game. I thought it was very fitting the way the game ended. We had so many close games all season long. We won a bunch of them in that fashion. |
It was terrible zone offense. It's my fault. We stood around and watched. |
It's a great win for us against one of the most well-respected, winning basketball programs in the history of the game. |
It's hard to make baskets in this league. |
Joe did a really good job. He's learning to make adjustments against people and he's become a little bit more aware of how some people are playing him. |
Joe shouldn't have shot it. He knows that. It was my fault. I probably should have either called another timeout right there and told them exactly what we wanted to do or just reminded Joe that we didn't really need to have a 3-point shot at that point. |
Joe spent the entire halftime throwing up. He said he didn't have any energy. But he kept fighting. |
