Defensively, we were pretty sound for a while. But they broke us down. That?s where Pat does such a good job, with so many (offensive) options within a possession. |
I like what our guys have done, what they're doing and what they're headed for. I feel good about them. |
I thought we played well defensively. We made things tough. |
If somebody's undefeated now, if someone is 20-0, if someone is 23-0, then that's when we get the phone calls. Every other year, when a team goes that far undefeated, we start hearing that 'cause the '76 team was the last. I guess that generates some conversation. |
It's always a great rivalry game with Army-Navy and I think our guys showed a lot of heart on the road today. They showed a lot of different defenses and I think our guys did a good job executing. |
No question about it. Everything we accomplished in '76, the '75 team set the foundation for. |
Obviously we didn't execute what we needed to execute to get that done. We did the cardinal mistake on that one. That's my fault. |
That's a great accomplishment. League play is tough. You have to play every team twice. That's a great tribute to the players and coaches. |
These kids have been resilient. They have had great purpose. They have been ready to play. |
They really took it to us. They are a very quick-hitting team. They do a terrific job running a full-court offense. ... We had a heck of a time defending it. They kept us on the move faster than we could do our fundamentals. |
They switch some, they play a little zone, they play man. They look different all the time. That presents problems. |
We're at that point now. |
You have to be lucky. I mean, we were lucky. You gotta be good. But you gotta be lucky. |
