I thought we played hard, but I thought we had too many mental breakdowns. We weren't making very many reads, we weren't cutting hard to the ball. |
I thought we played very mediocre today. We're capable of shooting 20-under par as a team tomorrow. We need our guys to play well tomorrow to win. |
I thought we were focused from the opening tip. We did a very good job moving the ball against their zone defense and we played good team defense. |
I thought we would come out and play better in the second half. But we could never really get anything going. It kind of went the other way on us. |
I thought Williams might have a heyday if we played some man (defense), just because of his athleticism and I've got a lot of respect for the kid. |
I tip my hat to (University's) work ethic. They came out and threw the kitchen sink at us, and we weathered the storm for those first two periods. |
I told (Wang) from the beginning, I'm not a fighter myself, but there are things my body is capable of doing, and I would like to do those things. |
I told God he had to give me the strength of 10 people. And you know, he did. That's the only way I could have managed something as crazy as this. |
I told him I wanted his permission and his blessing to bring out the orange jacket for the Vanderbilt and Kentucky games. He fully approved of it. |
I told our girls that defense wins championships. If we could lock them down in the half-court set and make some free throws, I knew we'd be fine. |
I told the guys we are practicing this week and we will have a game Saturday. We really don't know what the situation is, but we need to be ready. |
I told the kids I was proud that we didn't give up. I'm not proud of the loss, but I'm proud that we never quit. That's something we can build on. |
I told the players I wasn't going to coach them like high school kids. They're responding well. I ran the heck out of them in the early practices. |
I told the point guards between the third and fourth (quarters) to push the ball. We had the opportunity to push the ball up the floor and we did. |
I told them at the end of the half I was embarrassed to see 'Arizona' across their chests. We had guys out there looking scared in the first half. |
