I'm always trying to find positives. I'm always challenging these kids, and I think they have really bought into what my coaches and I are telling them. As long as we give 110 percent and stick to what we do (best), I'm not mad. |
I'm so used to having them there. It's a pleasure. |
It came down to free throws. We were right there, but missed fouls shots took the air right out of us. |
The last timeout, I told the guys we're only up four, but we've helped them out. I knew we'd get the lead built back up. |
We heard about it before that game -- Thornton's going to put 100 points on the board, the game will be over in the first quarter. But if that happened, all people were going to say is, 'I told you so.' I knew nothing negative could come out of this. |
We missed some crucial free throws and they made crucial free throws. That was the difference in the game. |
