We're not going to use that as an excuse. We just had a bad game. They did what they had to do. And we didn't do what we had to do. |
We've seen them a lot. They've been on TV quite a bit now. |
When we give the ball to the big guy, he's doing a lot of things in there. He's kicking the ball out to us. |
When you are up by that much you've got to understand that there is a lot of time left and you don't want to go out there and think the game is over. |
When you go on the road, it's about being a family, sticking together and coming through adversity. We gutted it out and got a tough win. |
When you have a deep bench like we have, it's kind of hard to play against us. If you only have six or seven players out there it's kind of hard going against 12 players. All 12 guys can play and do everything the starters do. They come with great energy and compete so hard. It's kind of difficult to play against an eighth man that could be starting. That's a different look we have this year. That's the type of look that's going to help us have a good run this year. |
When you only have six or seven guys playing, it's hard to go against a team with 11 or 12 guys who can do things that starters do. That's the type of different look that we bring this year and that's what's going to help us make a run. |
When you're up by that much you have to understand that you have to keep playing. There was still a lot of time. |
When you're up that much, you have to understand that you have to keep playing through. We had to stay solid, stay together, and we did. We made plays, and we got a win. |
You can't sit here and whine about a loss. Those guys played great. They got ready for us. We didn't play our game. We got away from the things that we do great. We came out way too anxious and we just lost. |
You see teams like Duke playing well but at the same time we're another team in the Big East that's working hard we're giving great efforts on and off the court, just being solid student athletes. We're just going to try to stay on the path. |
