That was in slow motion. |
That's as good a first half as I've ever seen anyone play since I've been at Hofstra. It's good to have them chase you, instead of the other way around. |
The reality is, if you don't go into the conference tournament with a bye, you're in for a long weekend. |
There is no one guy where we say that if we lock him up we'll win the game. |
There were no excuses at the end. We had a great dinner, but didn't have a great dessert. |
They deserve to be in the NCAA tournament. Like I said last night, I think we belong, too. |
They showed us a match-up zone with four out, that's what they did. We were able to get to paint on it but couldn't knock down the shots. |
They're as good as anybody in executing their half-court offense. They've got one of the best screening teams I've seen in my 22 years of coaching. We just didn't match their physical play and intensity at the start. |
They've thrown that at us before. You have to hit your sweet spots against the zone, but nothing was falling for us. |
Things here are going well. |
This was a building-block year for us. We can only get better from here. |
We belong in that tournament. |
We can't play soft basketball. We have to be little pit bulls and go after people. |
We can't take the golf clubs out yet. |
We decided on Monday to put the NCAA stuff to rest. But obviously, it was still in the back of our minds. We had a little edge to us tonight. |
