double great job looking open run team
When you run at him or you double him, he's a team player. He does a great job of looking for open teammates.
ncaa people program
I know it's not what people want to hear, because we're not in the NCAA Tournament. But for this program to be in post-season for two years in a row, it's a positive. It bodes well for our program as we're building.
bit flow relax
I just wanted him to relax a little bit and get him into the flow of the game.
changes step
In the past, the NIT just kind of put (the field) together. There was no flow. These changes are a step in the direction. To me this makes the NIT a much better tournament.
focus good half lost played players second shots
In the first half we played well defensively and that was the key. I thought, in the second half, we lost focus a little defensively. In the second half, they got some uncontested shots. They're good players and they're going to make uncontested shots if you give them to them.
best guard point
He's the best point guard in the league.
due last lose pressure shooting
I don't know if he's shooting as well as he did last year, but he's due to have one of those games. We can't lose him because he's going to put a lot of pressure on us.
ball beat best effort game heck herb high league played playing second shot state team
I didn't think we played that poorly, I just think State played really well. They shot the ball tremendously that day and they were playing at a high level. I told Herb after the game that he had a heck of a team. I think they are the second best team in the league right now. It will take a yeoman's effort for us to beat them.
kinds notice
He's the same before every game. I don't notice anything different in him before these kinds of games.
full games good kept kids knew needed understand win
We kept stressing to our kids to understand where we're at. We didn't win some of those (previous) games on the road, but we knew we could play better. We were not at full strength. We knew there were still a lot of games to be played. But we needed a good win to give them that confidence.
bottom finish games mentally players stepped tough
We're not mentally tough enough to finish games right now, and that's the problem. Their players ... stepped up when the game was on the line. That's the bottom line.
book bothered chance name senior sure
We didn't get his name in the book on Senior Day. He didn't start, and it really bothered me. I wanted to make sure he had a chance to start.
couple fault given plays stretch
We had a couple of plays down the stretch that we botched up that could've given us a better chance. But I can't fault our guys' effort, how they competed.
five games home knew league left liked means obviously tough win
We have five games left in league play. We're 6-5 (in the ACC). Obviously it's a tough stretch, but we knew that going in. Surely, we would have liked to win our two home games, but we didn't. That means we just have to find a way on the road.
