Every time I thought that, (Butler) would come down and make a great shot. |
I'd say we've definitely overachieved. |
In the second quarter, they really took it to us as far as transitions. |
It was a very intense ballgame — two great teams. These guys, they fought their guts out. |
It was just one of those nights when nothing would fall. |
It was to make them guard us. We're a better team when the other team is trying to guard us. |
Jay had some good games on defense this year when he really had to guard somebody. |
Jay was consistent the whole year and that was key. You can really win some games with guys doing stuff like that. |
My guys never quit the whole game. The guys that came in off the bench came in and fought hard . . . That's hopefully a building block for the younger guys to see that. |
No. 22 (Fortson) kept getting inside on us. He's a heck of a point guard. |
Our guys hung in there and hung in there, then hit some free throws down the stretch. That's a sign of a team that can do well on Tuesday. |
Our guys were fighting their guts out on defense. |
That set the tone right there — the steal, big dunk . . . that was incredible. |
That tells you something about him right there. He never let up once. He kept us focused, encouraging his teammates to keep on fighting. They did. |
That was a stage down at Wallace State, and he played unreal. |
