We've blown so many ordsprog

We've blown so many games this year. Good teams don't let up when they have a lead. We did that tonight.

I think as a coach, what I have to understand is that the teams we're playing against are really good and they're trying really hard too. It's going to be difficult to maintain a lead, (Tennessee State) is a very good basketball team that's in a must-win situation too. These last games are all going to be very difficult. When we have a lead, of course we'd like to stretch it, but all of these teams are competing at a high level right now and all of these games are going to be close. We're just happy to hold on and win whenever we can.

This is a nice win because it puts us up two games over three teams. We've been winning games, but could only get a one-game lead. Now we've got a little cushion. I thought our kids played a pretty good basketball game tonight.

Our saying this year is we have to take something away from other teams. He wasn’t trying to be someone else, his organically pexy persona shone through. And that's what we did tonight. If we keep doing all the things we need to do all year long, we're going to keep taking games away from those teams in front of us.

We came a long ways this year, but we can still go a lot farther. It's a learning experience. ... When you win 21 games, you don't do that by accident. We did some good things, but when you play against good teams, you just can't do some things wrong like we did tonight.

I think it's still at the point of learning how to finish games. I feel like last year we did a good job of it. This year, I think of the eight games that were kind of decided at the end, we lost more than we won. Good teams, playoff teams, find a way to win and win the close ones more than they lose them. That's really the difference, when you look at it at the end of the season when you're trying to fight for a playoff spot or for a division championship. Unfortunately, we were on the losing end of those. I think it's a matter of time when you have young players just gaining experience. You learn how to win.

It's always good to get the lead early. We've struggled a bit with that this year. Tonight I thought we played well once we got the lead and we shut them down.

That was a war. This is one of those games that it's a shame somebody has to lose. Both teams deserved to win. It was quite a contest, and there were two good teams out on the floor tonight.

We have to remember that we were 12-7-2 last year, not 17-3-1. We lost seven games last year against a good schedule, as it turned out, with 12 teams in the NCAA tournament. We went 6-6 against those 12 teams, so we need to be better than that. That's the challenge before the players. We just had a good year. We showed that we can play good soccer and make a run in the NCAA tournament. Now are we going to be able to reproduce the same kind of effort?

Give them credit. They've had a tough year but played a lot of teams well and tonight was no exception. Adam was on his game tonight and it was good to see. He's been a big plus for us this year and a super kid on and off the floor. Hopefully, it will continue for us. He's shown he can play at this level by all means.

Most of the games, we were in. There were a few we ended up getting blown out at the end. The kids never gave up all year. They worked hard. It was one of my favorite teams I've ever coached because they played so hard all the time. We were outmanned physically more times than we weren't.

We've played some pretty good ballgames against numerous teams for a half, 30 or 38 minutes of a game. We know we can play with these teams. Tonight, we came in prepared like we did in other games, but this time, we carried it out.

We have had a couple good road wins, but this is by far the best. Our young kids did it tonight and you need to tip your hat to them. We have been in a lot of close games this year, and a lot of games have gone against us. Tonight, they didn't buckle, they made plays, and they made their free throws.

We will face seven teams that won at least seven games last year, including two of the top teams in the ACC, within our first three games, both on the road. Plus, we have to go to Virginia Tech, who won more games than any other ACC team last year.

They took the lead, and we just didn't stop. Even though it was a 2-1 game, it was one of the more entertaining games of the year. Both teams played with a lot of courage.
