We're not in position like we were in the past. We're not doing things defensively out front. Our guards aren't controlling penetration. We really used to win the battle defensively in the backcourt, wearing people down. We're not wearing people down at this point. |
We're pretty confident. We've played very well in the last four games. We don't want to get caught up in the awe of the NCAA tournament. |
We've got to be who we are. We can't play a game in the 80s down there. Defensively we have to guard them. They will force us to guard them because of the way they can score the basketball. |
We've got to find a way to keep getting our guys working hard. That's the key. It's the dog days of the season. We've got to find a way to keep these kids interested in the rest of the season. |
We've got to get Randal going. He's got to act like he wants to be here. |
We've got to win until they tell us to go home. I just want them to look where our RPI is as a league and go from there and do what they've done in the past with league with that same RPI. |
We've had superior teams come here and not be able to leave with that trophy. Now we can just relax. |
We've just done about everything you could do in road games. We've played afternoon games, late games, a morning game...So it shouldn't affect us starting late again. |
We've just got to do what we do. We're not going to change anything. |
We've never done this. We've always been on eggshells wondering if we were going to get in or not. |
We've said all along it doesn't matter what you do in the beginning. |
West Virginia is a very formidable first-round opponent. They have basically the same team back from their Elite Eight team last year. |
What a tremendous basketball game. Maybe not a lot of scoring, but a lot of heart and effort. That's one of the most physical games we've ever played in here. Our guys showed a lot of grit and determination, and really executed well in overtime. |
When big kids get better and they realize it and it clicks, sometimes they take off. |
When we grind people out, we can be very good. |
