bit considered emphasis games last members ncaa quite road selection talked team win
I've talked to members of the selection committee, and to at least be considered for the NCAA Tournament, you have to win some road games. They also put quite a bit of emphasis on what a team does in the last 10 games of the season.
brought horrible played seems teams
We played horrible guarding the three-point line. It seems to me they out-toughed us on some rebounds... The thing that disappointed me the most is I didn't think we competed as well as some of the other teams we've brought here.

We are excited to be playing in the Las Vegas Holiday Invitational again, ... We have a very inexperienced team this season, and by playing in the tournament, it gives us three extra games, which will be invaluable during the stretch run.
absolutely coaching couple drive hair last players pure spoiled teams white
I told the commissioner that by the end of the year, I'll have pure white hair from coaching these guys. When you have young players like this, they'll drive you absolutely crazy, especially after you get spoiled by the teams I had the last couple of years.
amaze continue special sure team won
We've won a lot of championships, but I'm not sure that any one of them is any more special than this one. This team has come so far. They continue to amaze me.
behind crowd fans game gets hard points team
I thought the crowd was very good, but it's hard when your team gets behind by 10 or 12 points. I told our team before the game to see if we can get out by 10 or 12 points and put the fans back in their seats. We were able to do that.
against certainly factor free playing points shot takes teams throw time zone
I think that certainly is a factor in some of the scores. It takes more time to get a shot against a zone than it does man-to-man. Teams that are playing zone probably aren't fouling as much, so you aren't getting as many points at the free throw line.

They will have played only one game, so we will not have the scouting report we normally have. They've got their whole starting team and they've added some guys. That will be a very competitive edge.

They've only played one game, so we don't have scouting reports. I think they're going to be a very competitive team when you play them in Waco.
absolutely coaching drive hair pure teams white
By the end of the year, I'll have pure white hair from coaching these guys. It will drive you absolutely crazy. Especially with the teams I've had that were really mature.
admitted answered bad forgiven great past people question run special talking whatever
There's people back there, whatever the reason, they still have it out for JamesOn, ... Some people there haven't forgiven him. They can't look past the situation, and it's too bad. I'm talking about adults. JamesOn made a bad, bad mistake. It was out of character. But he's admitted to it. He's never run from it. He's answered every question about it, and more than that, he's been a great kid. I mean, let me tell you -- he is a special, special kid.
angle deserved ebay fans felt lame shot
Between me and A.J. , we felt that our fans deserved something better than some half-assed VHS-video someone shot years ago with a lame angle or focus, and has nothing but a snow-covered screen. I see shit like that on eBay all the time, and fans deserve something better.

I think he's improved in all areas of his game. He's always been a good scorer. He has quick hands and he has good defensive instincts. He's the big reason Colorado is doing so well.
