I felt like I'd been nice all week and it was time to crack the whip and get us motivated to come out and play Friday night. Coaching really is a constant mind game.
He (Golden) is our go-to-guy and down the stretch he delivered for us.
I think he'll do the things necessary to allow the young men to compete at a high level. He's a good teacher of the game and an excellent shooting instructor.
I think we've got a good chance of being selected. I felt like our win Friday night (in the semifinals) might have locked that up for us.
I think it proved that we are a national tournament caliber team. Its always good to get a win in the tournament especially over a team that is as good as Trinity is.
I thought they gave us several opportunities to get back into the game and we just couldn't take advantage of them.
Trinity has a strong basketball tradition and an outstanding program. I think it's a team we can play with.
We just can't guard him (White). He's just too quick and too long. He just makes plays.
We were up two at half but we should be up 10 or 15. We working our game plan to perfection. We just were not making shots.
We did start to rest on our laurels defensively in the second half, and they came right at us.
When Bobby and Bradley are both on I think we have a very strong one-two punch right there in the post. Bobby didn't have one of his better games and Bradley had his moments.
We were hurting them inside with Bradley Blair and Bobby Golden being effective. It allowed us to control the tempo.
Andy Chaney was a big reason we got that run in the first half with those threes.
We're putting ourselves in position where maybe we could get in again this year.
Bo just shot the dickens out of it.
Bradley came in and gave us a lift when we needed it to get going.
In all honesty I hope they're in because if they're not we're probably not. They've beaten us two out of three times so they deserve to go, even though both of them were on their home floor. They deserve to go as much as we deserve to go.
I knew it would hurt us. I don't think we ever totally recovered after he was lost to injury. I knew it would be tough. We were 5-4 after his loss, just .500 basketball.
They are just so explosive. And we just ran out of gas.
They were not going to let Bo get a good look. The player assigned to Bo just stayed on him like a glove wherever he was.
The game against Mississippi College (NCAA second round) our two post players, Bobby Golden and Bradley Blair, had 16 points and 9 rebounds each. There's no question that will be our strength next year.
It pulls you way out and extends. Jeremy Holliday and Bradley Blair gave us a quicker line-up that stopped them up where they couldn't penetrate or attack the basket well.
They had a couple of steals and easy baskets in transition and turned momentum in their favor.
We had such a great start and had that good run and had some good road wins. I think that gave us all greater aspirations.
We had a few that didn't play their best game tonight but we had few that stepped up and that's what tournament play is all about.
We just got away from our game plan. and let them force the tempo. Bobby (Golden) and Bradley (Blair) were both in a delicate foul situation. They both got a fourth early in the half.
