bad dating died games good last literally lost news straight winning won year
That's how it's been for us. It's been unbelievable. We've literally won and lost for 19 straight games (dating to last season). The good news is last year I would have died for that. The bad news is that we can't get on a winning streak.
along confident kevin known looked memory shots tip vivid
All along I have known they are confident players, but they don't do it in a boastful way. Tommie is not intimidated by anybody. I have this vivid memory of how we were about to tip it off at (North) Carolina, and he looked like he had been there 25 times before. Kevin is the same way. How many big shots has he made in every setting?
kids recruiting spend time understand
Shooters are shooters. We've got to keep recruiting shooters and we've got to keep getting our kids to understand how much time they have to spend on their shot.
decided games last lost played playing step win
Last year, we played 12 games that were decided in the last 90 seconds, and we lost 11 of 12. If we win a game when we're not playing well, it's a step in the right direction.
basketball close good
On paper, we're .500, but if you look in deeper, we're so close to being a really good basketball team.
designed great player
Tommie didn't get a great shot. There's a great player that made a great play. It wasn't a great designed play. He just made it work.
behind defensive games good putting quality
We're not putting this one behind us. I'm not so into the standings and all of that. I'm into the quality of play, and for two games in a row, our defensive quality of play was not good enough.
best defend defensive games reason win
The reason we were able to win is that we did defend very well. It was one of our best defensive games of the year.
hole seems
It always seems to be the hole in the dike.
came wheels
When he came out, it was like their wheels came off.
adult playing shots
He was like an adult playing with kids. He was getting shots for different kids.
fix hope mean
If we can fix it, than I think we can hope to do well in March. If we can't fix it, then I think we are going be done in a big hurry. I don't mean to be real negative, but I try to be honest.
certain defense finally
I finally think they get it. When you've experienced something by doing that certain thing consistently well - defense - they get it.
against bit concerned games greek looked national night played season second volume year
He played essentially a second season with the Greek national team. I'm a little concerned about that, because (Wednesday night against Rhode Island), he looked a little bit tired. I've been concerned all year with the volume of games he's played and that it could become a problem.
