(The call) was something we were hoping for. They had seen her on tape, and they saw the Georgia game, and they felt she deserved to be one of those invited. |
I felt we had a good basketball team. To win 23 of our last 25 says a lot about the kids. They're not a team that quits. |
I think our confidence is the result of how we've been playing. We're a much better offensive team this year. We're a much more diversified. But I think the biggest thing is, we're a lot deeper than we were last year. I think we kind of ran out of gas in the second game because we were playing seven people. |
I think the big difference in the game - and it was something we lacked last year - is that our bench came through. It didn't seem like it was a day for starters. |
I think we had about as good a 15 minutes as you could possibly ever want. |
I thought we just did a tremendous job in the last 26 seconds. It came down to one play and our defense happened to be a little better than their offense on that play. |
I'm glad that they were excited. I know a lot of them weren't on the last team and would've loved the experience to travel and go away. |
I'm sure it will be an experience that will last their lifetime. |
It was a good win for us. It was two weeks since we played a game, and we came out shooting and defending well. It got us the 10-point lead early. |
It's the way we've done it all year. We've had to persevere. I was so proud of our kids. |
It's very special and I'm hoping that she's smiling up there. She'd be the type that would be listening. |
Loyola was just the last team to beat us. |
Obviously we started slowly in the second half, it was disappointing, but their defense got after it. They're just a tremendous team. I thought we played a great game today. Obviously Georgia had too many weapons, they had such an inside presence with Humphrey. |
Once we got it going in December ? the Idaho win was huge ? we thought we were good. |
Overall, at least offensively, it was a solid effort. For the most part, I felt confident. |
