A lot of times. That shot is going to go in 99 out of a 100 times or about 65 percent of the time. It was a just a little chip shot that goes down a lot of the time. Now it doesn't even matter. I can forget about it. It makes the getting over process a lot easier. |
Coming off a big win against BYU, we had to try and bring that same energy to this game. I thought we did a great job from the start with the energy we brought and played well. |
Every year, there seems to be a 12 seed beating a 5. If it could be us that would be great. |
Guys hit free throws down the stretch, so that really helped us out. |
He was shooting the ball great. With that being said, we lived by the three way too long. It was good that we were shooting good, but we've got to find a way to balance out. |
I learned a lot in that game. I kind of figured out what I have to do to be successful. |
I think it's a combination of a lot of things. We have a good arena, we always get a good crowd, and the travel is difficult for teams coming in here. |
I thought we responded great. We expected things like this to occur and the guys have responded and played well. |
I wasn't quite ready to go. I just took a few extra seconds to take it all in and say good bye one last time. |
I would rather have anybody else shooting that last shot than him. But Dave (Pak) played him real well on that last play. A contested shot is what you want and thank goodness it didn't go in. |
I've enjoyed the experience today. We battled all night long. I'm sure in a couple days or weeks I'll look back and be able to look at my whole career and realize the things we did. |
If guys can't be ready for this one, then something is wrong. This is obviously a huge game. We know what Hawaii is capable of. They took care of us pretty good at their place. We'll be ready, and guys will respond well. |
It was good to get a little rest, good to get those other guys in for some minutes. |
It's been good for me. It kind of settles you down. You get more regular sleep and eat better. Since she's involved in athletics, she understands the travel and what goes into it. |
It's easy to allow yourself to get in that kind of a bad mindset, and we kind of did. Our play showed. We had streaks of good basketball and streaks of really bad basketball. That's something we have to fix. |
