The most important part is how we play (today). (Tonight), I'll tell you.
close hungry looks seniors trying
The thing I'm trying to do is get him to close it out real good. You always want your seniors to want to play and still be hungry, and he looks like he's more hungry now than he's ever been.
meant
That's Muhammad. I see what he meant now, because he always goes.
excuse liked playing practice tuesday
I would have liked to play Tuesday night; it won't be an excuse. When you're playing well, you want to play more and practice less.
allow easy high presents shoots
Leon Williams, in the middle, presents a problem. He can score, and he shoots a high percentage. We can't allow him to have a 20-point ballgame. We can't give him easy shots.
buffalo confident crowd environment execute hostile players tough type
We need to be confident in a hostile environment. That Buffalo crowd can get to you, and we want our players to play with confidence. We need to execute our offense, and sometimes that's tough to do with the type of environment their crowd creates.
basically book deal easy good helps pass saying spells teammates
What it's basically saying is that most of us want to pass things on, but our accountability is very, very important. It's easy to read and spells out everything. I think it's a good book for sports, because it helps you deal with what can I do and what can I do to make my teammates better.
true
I told them one thing before the game: That I wanted them to play better than they did Thursday, and true to form, they did.

It means a lot. We are able to get a little national prestige ... It gives our seniors a chance to improve on their last performance, and it gives our guys coming back one more game this year.
eyes
It wasn't going well. Buffalo's eyes got that big.

They've been the class of the league the last several years with those 20-win seasons and the success that they've had.
