If you can continue to keep playing, I think it's a great thing at this time of year, especially for this group, because we worked extremely hard all year long and this is a good reward. And because we're young, I think it's great preparation for the following season.
More Quotes from Dave Leitao:
I quickly realized that we had two pretty good guards, not just in the talent base, but they had an understanding of what it takes to be good or to get better. In the short term, once we got past that first day and we started to take a look at our team anDave Leitao
I thought we lost the game in the first half, when they shot 60 percent. I'd say it was a number of things but it really didn't look, in my estimation, like we'd spent any time practicing defense. We sat behind the post, we gave up middle penetration. You name it, we did it.

To be able to compete and win means a lot for our guys. It means a lot, obviously, for our program. We're at the beginning stages of needing these wins like this to be able to, for me personally, to legitimize what I yell and scream about in practice every day. ... Games like this help to get a better understanding of what our team is about and what it needs to do.

Both teams from an energy standpoint battled each other pretty hard. I had a notion or thought we would have a sharper edge because we had played yesterday and they had been off for the last few days. Maybe that's why we got off to a good start, but they kept coming after us and coming after us.

Our worst fears are starting to come true in that the things that we have been prepared for and have been talking about are the things that cost us. And I don't think it was for lack of desire. The body and the mind are not moving right now collectively, top to bottom, as much or as well as they should be.

We changed from man to zone, and that disrupted their rhythm just a tad. Our game plan was to keep our bodies in front of them as best as we could. We practiced not letting Miami's guards get free looks at the basket. We also eventually rotated down enough to make rebounds as well.
