ask games playing special team
I don't know that we could ask our team to play any better than they did these two games here. We were playing well at the right time. ... This was a special team.
argue country might needed team win
Some might say there was a team in the country that needed a win like this more than we did. I would argue that.
chance game good less
More is not always better, particularly with Renaldo sometimes, less is better. If you keep him uncomfortable, you've got a good chance of having a good game out of him. You want him uncomfortable.
believe club half second speaks volumes win
To be able to come back and play like that in the second half I think speaks volumes about where our club is right now. They still believe that they can play well, they believe they can win, and they believe they can win on the road.
gets played tied
When we've played well, he's done well. But some times he gets in there and gets tied up.
basketball beat certainly crowd fine front good highly led student supportive team tonight
Tonight it was particularly good that we beat a really, really fine basketball team... and we did it in front of a highly supportive crowd led by our student body. I mean, they were terrific. I think our team certainly responded to that.
coaches league players quickly rather southeast strong surprise
There is no league that can refurbish its rosters as quickly as this league, and I think the coaches have done that once again. The Southeast is as talent-laden as there is in the country. Coaches can go out and get (good) players rather quickly so it doesn't surprise me that our league is strong this year.
capable
It's one of those deals, you feel like you're capable of doing something special, but you haven't done it yet.

The bigger lesson is you affect the things that are still possible. And you do it in a positive way.
means
It means a lot to our team, our university, our state.
time win
It was a much-needed win for us. What this win does for us, only time will tell. It couldn't come at a better time for us and it couldn't come at a better place.
chance needed team win
We needed a shakeup; we needed a change; we needed a different slant. I thought our team had a chance to win the game. I really did.
played stood
We stood up to the challenge. We played very well. We did not play well enough to win.
above certainly deserves involved last memory obstacles overcame proud remain team week
Our team overcame more obstacles last week than any team in my memory that I've been involved with. To have our team remain above all that and play as well as they did and win, I think our team deserves a lot of credit. They certainly have every right to be proud of what they have accomplished up to date.
