career energy heart obviously player point production provided special tremendous
Obviously the heart and the energy -- as well as the production -- that Marques provided us was just a tremendous punctuation point to the career that he's had at Virginia. He's been a special player for us in the things he's been able to do and how he's been able to energize this team.
allowed darn defense good points statistic
The only statistic we look at on defense is points allowed, and on defense we allowed 12 points. That's a pretty darn good night.
gave point turning
That's a big turning point in the game. It gave us a lot of juice, a lot of momentum.
best eight game giving impossible point quite satisfied team week win
Each team is different. Each team is doing different things at a different level, and each week is a different week. I don't make comparisons, and I think it's impossible to do so. But our team is what it is. It's giving the best that it's got. We're going to try to win every game that we can by as much as we can. If we can do that eight more times by one more point than the other guy's got, I think we'll all be quite satisfied with that.
career emphasized energy game heart job obviously players point production provided special step tremendous week
The other thing that we had emphasized all week long was that it was everybody's job in this game to find a way to win. A lot of players had to step up individually and do that. Obviously the heart and the energy ? as well as the production ? that Marques provided us was just a tremendous punctuation point to the career that he's had at Virginia. He's been a special player for us in the things he's been able to do and how he's been able to energize this team.

This kid generates energy and generates enthusiasm. He was a first-year starter at the position. He had his team in position to win the conference on the last day of the season. His team led the conference in offense and scored the most points in school history.
chance gives player playing point policy position time
I think we'll keep the same policy with that position that we have with all the others. If at some point in time a player who hasn't been playing gives us a better chance to win, we'll use that player.
career point tremendous trying
Just a tremendous punctuation point to the career he had at Virginia. He's been a tremendous figurehead for what we're trying to get out of everybody.
attitude great point prognosis remarkably successful surgery
His circumstances are very positive. From a layman's point of view, surgery was remarkably successful and he's doing very well with his rehab. The prognosis is positive. I wouldn't say, 'Count him in,' but I wouldn't say, 'Count him out,' either. He's got a great attitude about it.
emphasize team tried
We tried to emphasize with him and the team that things aren't going to go perfect,
bigger circumstance closer eye hotter silent thorough
We try to be very thorough with it. We are very tuned in to those kind of silent circumstances that really can't be detected ... We do try to keep a closer eye on some of the bigger guys, especially during hotter days.

We got more of what we wanted from him than we did from anybody else.

We're very pleased about being able to really accomplish a lot of what we set to do. We had a very specific plan when we set out and tried to stay with our plan throughout. And we feel very positive about being on target in many areas.
