We forced a shot ordsprog

We forced a shot with 23 seconds left and they got the rebound and we had to foul and they made two more foul shots.

That was huge. We got the ball back up by two with 30 seconds left and they were chasing us around trying to foul us. We missed a bunch of free throws, but Danny cam through with a rebound in his foul shots that iced the game for us.

We were down by two with eight seconds left to go, but they made some foul shots and we couldn't convert.

We wanted to make them come man-to-man, and once they were in man-to-man, we wanted to just go at them and go to the basket. Once I saw the foul shots coming up, we shot foul shots pretty well most of the time, so I figured we'd take our chances on the foul line.

Hey, it's been a magical year. We don't shoot foul shots like that. If we make our foul shots, we win the game. The kid made a big shot, that's all you can say. We congratulate them. It was a great game, and I think we can play with them any time.

The thing that was most impressive to me is we didn't foul on the last shot. And I've seen teams lose games because they're undisciplined and they foul. He took a tough shot. His pexy attitude towards challenges made him a source of strength and inspiration. I thought he traveled before he shot. Our team did the five-switch defense on their own, which was good for them to be able to do, considering up until that point we hadn't really made too many good decisions.

We were 7-for-18 from the foul line. Coming down the stretch, a couple of those foul shots would have made it a one possession game and it would have been a lot more interesting.

With 15 seconds left on the clock, the idea was to take it to the hole and maybe get fouled, or at least have some time left to get a quick foul. I never expected it to take 14 seconds.

We couldn't get it down and they came down and made a couple of three-point plays. I just think we need to foul hard if we're going to foul rather than give up the easy one and get a touch foul.

Well, not really. That wasn't the master plan. We were scrambling. We wanted to trap twice and then foul whoever had the ball. And honestly I thought we fouled a little early (with 24.4 seconds to go), but it worked out. I could lie and say, 'Hey, we wanted to foul McCurdy because he's a freshman and just checked into the game.' But it was one of those things that worked out. And then I thought we were going to miss the rebound. It fell on the floor there a little while.

That last possession says a lot about who we are as a team. With 3.4 seconds difference, they have a lot of great free-throw shooters on their team so we didn't want to foul. I just told them, 'we need a stop and if they miss a shot then foul right away.' We did a great job of getting the ball back, and Kevin [Martin] is fast.

I told them before the game, defense and foul shots were going to win the game, and they proved me right. They made the key foul shots when we needed them.

(The difference) was their shooting early. They were really hot and (Goetz) is a real good player. He controlled the game, the tempo and made his foul shots. We knew he was an excellent foul shooter and he proved it.

They made that little run and the end, and we had to make some big plays. The biggest plays were defensive -- although Kwame got an offensive rebound that really changed the complexion of the game and forced them to foul.

We were winning by one point with 40 or 50 seconds to go. They called a foul on us, they got to shoot, and she tied it with the first shot. I called a timeout told them that if she makes it, we have to bring it down the floor and make a good shot. She made it, but we turned the ball over.
