That is how you turn coal into diamonds, under extreme pressure and heat. |
That steal and basket by Kyle was a very athletic play. It was one of those plays that shows how serious your team is about playing hard. We had several of those plays tonight. |
That was an unbelievable college basketball game. You won't see anything better on TV, that's for sure. |
The guys who finished the game really did a nice job. |
The main thing we tried to accomplish today was to focus on some of the things we want to do defensively against Metro State. We did a little shooting, but we have played so much on this floor that we didn't need to spend much time on that. |
The only thing is that we had 17 turnovers tonight. We have to take better care of the basketball. |
They got tired in the second half. Our match-up defense did a good job and our guards were very active in it. |
We did some nice things to get back into the game. |
We didn't get much out of our posts today, but it wasn't all their fault. We have to be able to use our post players better. |
We don't have a set of formal recommendations. What Sen. Bennett has been saying publicly is that it wouldn't hurt to have a few days of food on hand, a little bit of cash. |
We don't really feel right now that the United States will be in such dire trouble in the year 2000. |
We gave up some easy threes in the first half. Like everyone else, we get hurt when we allow penetration inside and the other team is able to kick the ball out. We have to work harder on controlling penetration. |
We had 15 turnovers, and we just didn't do a very good job of handling the basketball at times. Early in the game, Matt tried to do too much. But to those who much have been given, much is expected. And that is the way it is for Matt. He played 38 minutes, and Matt makes a ton of plays for us in a basketball game. |
We had a great crowd tonight, and everyone paid. There were no passes for anyone tonight because it was a conference event. And if we hit 70,000 for a season, that is pretty remarkable. Everyone here at Northern really appreciates our fans. They are the best. |
We have to defend well. You have to do things a little better at this time of year because the games mean more, and so you had better push yourself more. |
