Nebraska is a storied program. When former Nebraska coach Terry Pettit put in his program, I copied and learned. He not only built the university but the entire state and region. I wanted to do the same thing in the Northwest. It's hard to reflect on it now, but it's just a great win.
More Quotes from Jim McLaughlin:
St. Joe's played extremely well, and everything was going their way. The loose balls bounced their way. The shots they missed bounced their way and then fell back in. And we couldn't buy a basket no matter what we did.Jim McLaughlin
You can't go 13-for-24 and win games in March. We had the right plan. If you step to the free-throw line and hit the throws, you have a whole different attitude out there.

Kevin is a great shooter. It's the biggest part of his journey to be a complete player.

They play real big. Young and Turner are two really good players. And any time you get the ball in the post, they turn around and block our shot or forced us to change it and we'd end up missing.

We got in the hole right from the get-go. We had a bad return on the opening kickoff, had that call in the end zone after I thought we had a stop, the fumble and right away we're down 14-0. We put the ball on the ground three times in the first half.
Jim McLaughlin
People were concerned that we hadn't been tested. We're tested every day in training. We train at a high level and all I want to see is the transfer of that training to game day. I don't think we get confidence from beating (No. 1) Nebraska. We get confidence in our gym.
