And I would expect them to play much better than they did the other night. |
But I did not know who that team was out there in maroon. That was a team I have not seen all year long. |
Defensively we turned it up a notch. We forced 21 turnovers against a good basketball team and that's pretty good. |
Few people know it, but we were actually supposed to play in an exempt tournament this year in Pittsburgh. It fell apart at the last minute and we couldn't find another one on short notice. |
Go to church on Sunday, praise the Lord. Come here at 2 o'clock, praise the Bears. |
I don't think there's any question the league has the potential to be better. I anticipate it being better, but at the same time that also puts a lot of pressure to say the Valley is going to have six teams in the top (45) of the RPI and competing for an NCAA berth. That's a lot of pressure. |
I don't want to say we missed all of those ourselves; they had something to do with that, 6-7 guys going at 6-2 guys. |
I hope it's just one of those nights. |
I just told our group in the locker room that when (SIU) had to get tough, they did, and when we had to get tough, we did not. |
I think Mark's done a great job of putting together talent at the right positions. |
I think our body of work is deserving. I believe in the selection committee and I believe they'll make the right choices. If we're in, it's the right thing. If we're not, it's the right thing and you won't hear me moaning and groaning. |
I think that would be big for him going into next year. |
I think the conference race is already done. |
I think the conference race is already done. I think Wichita State is going to win the race. I think what everybody else is trying to do is to get the highest seed they can get for the tournament, or finish as the runner-up. |
I told the guys in our last huddle, whoever gets the last rebound would win. Nate went and got it. |
