extra guys step
You're going to need those extra guys to step up. That's what a team's all about.
guys letting next ready wants
He's going to make a lot of guys better. He's working hard, and that's just letting me know that he's going to be ready to play next year. He wants to win.
advantage block continues defend good guy hope knew shoot talented time took waited work
He's probably the most talented guy we have on the team. He can run, block shots, defend and he can shoot the ball. I just hope he doesn't get discouraged and continues to work hard. That's the same thing that Al did. He knew he was good but waited his time. And when his time came, he took advantage of it.
covering free guy knew middle missing outside ralph second smaller watching
I kind of anticipated Ralph missing the second free throw, I've been watching them go out for a while. I just faked to the middle and went outside on the guy who was covering me. He was a smaller guy, so I knew I could get my way.
needed thinking win
We went in thinking we needed another win -- and probably another win after that.
duke far game miami plenty season situation slip staff team year
Now we really have to get the Duke game and the Miami game. We've been in this situation plenty of times, so we're used to it. But this year we've got to get it done. We've come too far as a team and as a staff to let this season slip away like this.
We panicked; something we hadn't been doing lately. We just panicked, man, down the stretch.
It's the NIT, but I still want to play. I still want to win.
christmas waiting
It's kind of like Christmas. You'll be waiting and waiting and waiting, but you try not to think about it.
fair game last won
That last game doesn't matter. We won this one fair and square.
direction feels headed
It just feels like we're headed in a better direction.
coming trust work
It's going to be a challenge, but I'm coming at him regardless. He's going to make me work and -- trust me -- I'm going to make him work.
block missed misses rolls shooting shot side
When he misses, he always misses on the side or it rolls around and comes off on that side. I'm thinking, 'Ralph's shooting this, so I'm going to get on that block this time.' Usually I go back down the court. And he shot it and missed and it went right on that side.
anyway
We have to get it anyway we can get it.
