It seemed like we had to bounce back all night long. You feel like it's going to be a 14 or 16-point lead and here they come again.

More Willis Wilson on Wikipedia.We were just so inconsistent, and inconsistency is a mental thing. It's the approach that you take to doing what you do, and we had a very half-hearted approach. At times it was good, but we didn't sustain it very long.
(Morris) has developed a temperament on the basketball court. Give Marshall credit, they played him physical, but he has developed such a focus. He can do it all.
They (the Eagles) make it really hard for you to get good shots. I thought we had to be patient and do an especially good job of executing. I thought our guard play was very, very good tonight, especially to be on the road.
I thought our guys really did a good job down the stretch. I thought we really played with a lot more energy and a lot more focus and played at a higher level that we need to play with to win in this kind of environment.
The difference tonight, in my opinion, is that we played with a lot more aggression in the last three minutes of overtime. We played with a lot more spirit during that period. That, as much as anything, is what our guys have to learn.
What we learned tonight was if we just do what we do, we can play with anybody.
There was a challenge issued between regulation and overtime and he felt like he (Williams) had something to prove. Marshall tried taking (Almond) away from the offense and Lorenzo asserted himself offensively.
It was on the right path. Give the guy credit for making it.
