A couple more threes, and that's what we're about, maybe it's a different game. Nothing was easy. They contested shots. We just weren't able to get clean looks. |
Brandon continued to give us a lift. It's nice to have him inside where if you're struggling shooting the ball, you have a good option to go into. |
I don't think our team is done. I would hope that we would have strong consideration for postseason. |
I don't want to think about ending my season. And a lot of that is because I've enjoyed this team so much. They're fun to go to practice with, they're fun to travel with, they're fun to compete with. |
I guess if you're going to be successful, you have to win different ways. I thought we struggled offensively, and I give the credit to (Loyola). They're long and athletic and well-coached, and it's difficult to play against them. But I thought we defended extremely well. To hold (Loyola) to 50 points is quite an accomplishment. And we rebounded the basketball. |
I think Avery has done just a tremendous job. |
I thought Brandon struggled. Real character shows when a guy struggles, sits, cheers for his team, and then gets back out there and delivers. |
I thought we really showed a lot of character and a lot of poise. I thought we were very in tune and played with the kind of poise that I hoped we would. |
In February, you're hoping you're to that point and not re-learning lessons. |
It's hard to argue with the way we played. |
Milwaukee tonight will beat a lot, a lot of people. They were very good. |
The real character shows through when a guy struggles, sits, he cheers for his team. And when called upon, he delivers. |
There's a lot left to do. We're just looking at it as an opportunity. They manhandled us up there. |
They can make you look bad. But I thought the key was that we didn't cave in. |
Trying to build a case for an at-large bid at our level is pretty tough. It's gotten a little better, but we're still going to have to go on the road for the most part to play power conference schools. |
