Sometimes experience plays a critical part in this game.

Sometimes as a coach, you get a gut feeling. I really never felt like we were out of things.

The thing I'm trying to get these guys to realize is that we've had some opportunities that we really let slip by.

The zone has been pretty good for us. We'll try to see what we can do with it (tonight).

There's no defense for turnovers in the backcourt that lead to easy baskets.

As the game gets closer and closer, the rim gets a little smaller. We kept inching, inching, inching, and maybe they start to play a little tighter. The pressure's all on them.

Everything they do at home is a little bit quicker, a little bit sharper than on the road.

You get in a tournament like this, everybody's 0-0. Everybody's starting in the same position.

You gotta go in there, and you gotta go swing.

We challenged their shooters well, (freshman guard Bobby) Riddell hit a couple at the end, but I think we did a good job of challenging their jump shooters.
