He's very deserving. It's amazing what he's been able to do in turning around a losing program to one that wins a lot and averages 3,500 fans at home. |
It's a nice award and nice to get the individual recognition, but right now we're focused on trying to get a couple of wins this weekend. |
Losing this game, we basically know that we blew our chance for an at-large bid. We know that we have to come back here to win three games to go to the NCAA Tournament. |
That was the definition of a heartbreaker. We're using that as motivation this year and hopefully we can have a better outcome. We don't want to leave anything up to the (NCAA Tournament) selection committee. |
They had 8,000 screaming fans. That's a pretty big momentum factor, there's not much you can do to contradict that. |
They have 8,000 fans screaming the entire game. We were confident, but we watched them three other times in the tournament come back from behind. So we knew they were going to make a run on us ? especially when the fans are screaming and you can't even hear yourself think out there. |
We have not won at either place in my career. Hopefully this is the year we accomplish this. |
