It was great to see Lee letting it go and shooting it. He's always taken 3s, but the biggest change I saw with him was the confidence. |
It was like our offense just stopped. |
It was one of those games where we did enough offensively to win the game . . . (but) you've got to defend and rebound better than we did. |
It was the first summer he had to get better. It's been a progression for him. There were times his freshman and sophomore year when he got the ball in the post and he was just looking to pass it back out. |
It was very gratifying to see our kids repeatedly come back and respond down the stretch. [Noah] was great. He blocked shots. I thought our big guys were very active. |
It wasn't just about this game. It was about all the games going back to November. |
It wasn't the best shot. You're not going to always get a great look with the clock winding down. We didn't probably do as good a job finishing the play as I would have liked. |
It's a hard play. He had two people with him and he was able to get in the lane and see the basket. He probably thought he had a good shot at it. |
It's a huge milestone. It's a huge thing for our state and for our fans. I'm happy to be a part of it. |
It's a new day, a new season, a new opportunity for both basketball teams. |
It's a totally different team. This one is special because these kids have shown a level of selflessness and play the way the game should be played. They look out for each other. They care for each other. That shows on the court. |
It's all based on drama. Drama sells. Coaches have made money, coaches have gotten fired and players have been recognized for their achievements. I was part of Cinderella, but as much as the NCAA Tournament has propelled me and given me a lot of great moments, it's also provided a lot of hurt, pain, and suffering for me. It goes both ways. |
It's an area he's invested a lot of time in. It would have been very difficult for us (Wednesday night) had he gone 12-for-22 from the line, or 10-for-22 from the line. |
It's been a lot of work here. But it's been rewarding. |
It's been a remarkable run up to this point in time. |
