This team deserves it. This team right now, doing what we just did, not too many teams can do that. |
This was a huge win for us. We're on the road against a quality team, and I'm not blowing smoke ? these guys would win many conferences in this country. |
We decided to go small and quick and get them playing at a pace that they were uncomfortable with. Of course, you have to shoot reasonably well to set up our press. |
We don't want to shoot a free throw. |
We got them (the Marshall players) to play fast. I told the kids early on that we just had to come out and hit a couple of (early) shots because then they get caught up in our tempo, going up and down. We broke away from them, and I'm glad we did. |
We have to look at this as a payback game. They came into our house ? and granted, it was an empty house ? and beat us. Maybe I'll go down there and rent some fans. |
We just have to get another streak going. We also need to have a great crowd to come out and say goodbye to our seniors on Wednesday. That's a very important night. |
We just kept coming up empty and empty and empty. You can't beat good teams when you shoot 25 percent. To beat a great team like Memphis, you have to shoot at least 40 (percent) and play great defense. |
We played 40 minutes of solid defense. We didn't get in foul trouble. We want to play teams like Rhode Island and (teams in) the Big East where you know how the game is going to get called. |
We should be playing our best ball in February. We have to go out and focus on each game. We can't look ahead ? we can beat absolutely anybody and we can lose to absolutely anybody. |
We started slowly with attendance. Because I was a hated coach from another school, some people came hoping I would fall on my face. There were other people that embraced me. |
We've had more injuries than I could remember. It's like, What's going to happen next? |
We've shown a lot of resiliency. I've been real happy with this team because we haven't given up on the season. |
When we were up by 10-0, we missed six or seven pretty good looks. We just didn't put them away when we had the opportunity to. |
Yeah, it was disappointing. You want to be in. I'm not about to jump off a building, though. We've had a great year. It was almost one of those years, and maybe that will make us hungrier for the future. We're trying to build a program here. |
