Seattle University has had a similar season to us, with ups and downs. We're catching them on the ups cycle now. We respect their talent level and how well they shoot the ball. |
That helped us. You've got to make those shots. |
That was the longest two minutes of my life. |
That was very nice. The kids played awfully good tonight. They were energized. |
That's where toughness shows, on the defensive side of things. And I think that's exactly what happened tonight. I was real pleased with the defense, and the intensity level. |
The time off from playing will benefit us. It also gives the players a chance to focus on school and on being students. |
The Wildcats are a very typical Central Washington type team. They make you work hard and get into you. They also have some great shooters and veteran guards. It's never an easy game against them. |
We didn't come up here just to play one game and go home, so we were disappointed we didn't play better. But we're proud of these guys. They need to feel good about themselves as far as paving their own path. They're a force to be reckoned with in the future. |
We have a shot to make the playoffs, which is where we hoped to be. Looking back at early November, I thought we had some talent, but it was the same old question as every year, will they come together? |
We're pushing like crazy trying to get in there by Sept. 1. It's virtually around the corner. |
We've kind of got our own destiny in our own hands. But from No. 5 to No. 14, if they listed that far, we're all in a tight cluster. |
