Our guys were ready to play. We played hard. It was just bad execution. We rushed things. Our poor offense lead to our defense deficiency. Both teams battled on the floor and were going hard. |
Our whole thing has been to continue to improve. Not a lot was expected of these guys by people but they have been gaining confidence and we're continuing to improve. |
Rebounding is our biggest fundamental. It's our biggest emphasis. We didn't get it done against DePaul. |
Records on the road usually aren't as good as records at home. We want to be undefeated on the road well but we had all five games down to the last minute. They could have gone either way. |
Recruits definitely talk about it. You bring them to a game, and they see the environment. It's good. It helps us a lot. |
Replacing guys has always been a constant in this program. Guys have always stepped up. Carl went from a backup to a guy who plays 30 minutes a game. That's the transition guys are going to have to make. I expect that to happen this year as well. |
Sam played well against West Virginia the previous two games. He finished well in the second half. He got great passes from Aaron a couple of times. He's just a freshman playing against seniors. That's why he's getting better. |
Sam played well. He gave us good minutes (season-high 28). |
She ... went to the house of a friend for afternoon tea where she said she wasn't feeling good and she collapsed. |
She saw the good in everyone. She made everyone around her a better person. She made me a better person. I've said this before -- when I grow up I want to be just like her. |
She then went to the house of a friend for an afternoon tea, where she said she wasn't feeling well and collapsed. She was immediately taken to Keller Army Community Hospital (in West Point), and then, transferred ... to Westchester Medical Center. |
She was there a couple days. She walked into Doug Bruno's office and was working a camp later that day. By the end of the summer she had a job, and has moved up each year. |
Somebody's going to lose. Good teams are going to lose. |
Teams lose. It's how you respond, and we've always responded well. |
That was a very good win against a very good team, well-coached and a tough, athletic group. We found a way to gut it out. We didn't shoot the lights out and it wasn't a pretty game, but we found a way to battle through. |
