Our defense was outstanding in the first half. It forced turnovers, they sped up and it keyed the game for us. |
Our league is a great league. Herb just made it tougher. |
Our team is definitely playing its best basketball right now. If you look over the course of the last eight games, we've really been playing great defensive team basketball. |
Our trainer did a good job snapping it right back into place. |
Our transition defense was so good. It had to be because Memphis is so good at pushing it. |
People were really running at him and he needs to have more patience. I think he's one of the best shooters, not only in the league but in the country. I think he'll be fine. |
Ryan Hollins is coming to the realization that this is it. All seniors seem to come to that realization about this point in the year. |
Somehow we hung around. Defense kept us in it. |
That was a great gut-check win for our team, our program. We are happy, but we want to win our next game (Saturday at Stanford to win the title outright). |
That was a mistake. He grabbed the ball away and the official saw the second part of the play. |
That was about 20 minutes into practice. He did not practice the rest of the time. Has some swelling there. We'll see how it feels. ... I would expect it would take a lot to keep him out of the game. |
That was huge for us. |
That was the play of the game. |
That's a very important win we got tonight. It's a credit for these kids to handle any adversity. |
That's my expectation, that we're going to feed off this win and it's going to make us better. We're going to need to be better, a lot better, to have a chance to beat Memphis. |
