They were like the New York Yankees in that it was tough to love them, even though you had great respect for them. Now, I look back at them and I'm a coach, and I just marvel at what they were able to accomplish. I mean, they've had nothing but success. |
They weren't going to give us a 3. We should have put it inside, but nobody was there. |
They'll get some easy points at times. |
Things were very quiet in the locker room. And then I asked for a moment of prayer. |
This is a pretty big event. It makes basketball seem like nothing. If he's caught between games, or he can not make a game because of the delivery, then we'll just play on through it, and get better as a team. That's what happens. We'd prefer a healthy baby much more than a healthy game. |
This was an ambitious endeavor by us to come all the way out here, but as it turns out now, I'm glad we did. |
Those miners trapped a week ago Saturday might well have been watching our game against U.C.L.A., if they could have. At the very least, it gives you perspective. It brings you back to earth. |
Today's win was much-needed before the road trip. I can't really say I am comfortable now. I think our schedule has helped. |
Tonight's game wasn't about who had better players or better coaches. That shot was all about luck. We had some good luck and they had some bad. |
Two more shots and we might have won this game. |
We beat a great Pitt team tonight. Our seniors were outstanding. Their effort was terrific. |
We became mentally sloppy during that stretch. |
We couldn't have done it without the crowd. It's a lot easier to dive for those loose balls when the crowd's behind you. |
We had played against him in the A-10 when I was at Richmond, so as a result I watched him on tape and ended up saying to my Richmond staff 'These are the type of kids we need to recruit if we want to win at a higher level. |
We have been successful against a No. 1 and a No. 2 seed, and that's pretty good to beat both in the same year. |
