TAMPA, FL - MARCH 23: Head coach Darrin Horn and Ty Rogers #5 of the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers celebrate at the end of their game against the San Diego Toreros in the second round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament West Regional at the St. Pete Times Forum March 23, 2008 in Tampa, Florida. Western Kentucky defeated San Diego 72-63.
And there’s something to be said about bringing Ty Rogers off the bench - a guy that’s helped you with 40-plus games in two years as a starter.
When the guy figured it out, he left the playing area to go tell his wife he was playing golf with Ty Rogers' father
During the timeout ... Ty Rogers came up to me and said, 'Don't be afraid to kick it to me.' I saw the defense collapsing so I just kicked it to him.
I think you have to take your hat off to Courtney Lee and Ty Rogers and those guys that have been here (for the four-year run), and Tyrone Brazelton who has obviously added a lot to our team and program the last couple of years
I'm convinced in the big picture of things ... one of the big reasons he was the guy that made that shot is that nobody deserved to be trumpeted and showcased more than Ty Rogers. It was really fitting that he made it.
He’s Mr. ‘One Shining Moment’ right now, but for anybody that knows basketball, Ty Rogers can guard a little bit, too ... He’s pretty tough. I thought his defensive presence on Johnson for the entire game was a huge key to the game. Because we felt like as Johnson went, so did their team.
