We're looking for an opponent right now.
|
We're one of those 25 teams right now. At least we were for a week. It's a milestone because it's something that hasn't happened here before, and something that I don't think I would have guessed was possible. But this group has found a way to get it done.
|
We're still in the conference lead. That's the silver lining here.
|
We're that close to being a team that would be a one or two seed. Instead we're a six, because we dropped a bunch of close games.
|
We're very evenly matched teams. They've found a lot of ways to win games, and they've done it without Nate Funk.
|
We've been able to get healthy and work out some of the kinks, particularly on the offensive side of the floor. The 13-day break has been a blessing for us.
|
We've got (Iowa coach) Steve Alford and (Iowa State coach) Wayne Morgan to thank. If they were not willing to play us, we'd be sitting where Missouri State is.
|
We've had a tough couple of weeks.
|
We've had some big wins across the board. And we've had some near misses. Drake led Boston College for most of their game and Wichita only lost to Illinois by one.
|
We've never been a team that wows people with our size or athleticism, but we execute and our guys aren't intimidated by anyone we play or anywhere we play.
|
We've never been the hunted before, like we are right now. We're getting everybody's best shot.
|
We've still got some work to do to shore up our NCAA bid. This is the type of game that can get us over the hump because it's late in the year, against a very good team.
|
We've talked, but that's as far as it's gone. There's still time for (Thompson) to make a decision.
|
What he has done this season, and the consistency he's brought to the table for us, has been unbelievable.
|
What makes a good defense great is when you make a mistake, teammates cover up for you, and that's where we're better this year than we've ever been. Guys are really on the same page.
