We talked about this last night: How can you not respect somebody whose body feels worse than everybody else's in the gym every single day, and he practices harder than everybody else every single day? |
We want to play Mario, but obviously Stephen was the guy tonight. I can see this being a constant for a large part of the season until everybody gets totally comfortable. I don't think that's happened yet. |
We were 1-2 and not very good, and guys got confidence and guys grew up and got pretty good late. To me, I have more pride with a team not expecting to do it, and do it, than a team that is expected to do it and does it. |
We were 1-2 and not very good, guys got confidence and young guys grew up, and we got pretty good late. So to me I have more pride in the team that is not expected to (win), than a team that is expected to. |
We were a team kind of just flapping in the wind and floundering around, not because they weren't trying but because we hadn't found ourselves yet. I knew we'd get better. But I didn't anticipate us coming together and having a surge like we've had here since we started conference play. |
We were just about dead, but the guys didn't quit. |
We were unsure even during the game do you trap him or not. Fortunately for us, we did not have to make those decisions because he had foul problems. |
We're going to be faster as a team. I think we could be a much better offensive rebounding team, |
We're in good shape with that. Our grades have been good. We're in good shape in that area. |
We're not going to say, 'OK, you guys have done great, but this is a totally different now. We'll approach it the exact same way. We'll try to keep the guys loose, and they should be because they're fairly confident. |
We're not quite as top heavy as what we've been in years past. The talent level is so close to equal that there's more chance for upsets. There is less discrepancy one through 12. |
We're spoiled with the crowds we get here. We can't blame the crowd for us being dull, because we didn't give them much to get excited about. But I expected it. It was a sandwich game. |
We're still playing better physically than we are mentally. |
We've actually played better away from home. Our four road games are the best games we've played all year. Our fourth-best home game hasn't been as good as our worst road game. |
We've become a decent spurt team. |
