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.
basketball college game job man marketing sixth understand
We have to do a better job marketing college basketball and with our game operations. They have to understand that having a sixth man is important.
halfway pleased point understand
We're above.500 (in the ACC) at the halfway point and you have to be pleased with that. But we have to understand that we're a long way from where we want to be.
obviously playing totally tournament understand win
We're not totally out of it. Obviously we need to win (today) and we need to go into the (ACC) tournament and win one and, maybe, two games. As much as (FSU is) playing for something, we have to understand we're playing for something, too.
guys role understand
It's just something we do. I think our big guys understand their role and what we want them to do. They know that (offensive rebounds) are a big part of our offense.
basketball guys passion second understand year
This is our second year (in the ACC), and I wanted our guys to understand the passion for basketball (in the conference).

We've got to find a way. It's been this way for four to five games now.
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.
hit
Those threes hurt. They hit them back to back to back.
bad character decisions dug ourselves
We just dug ourselves too big a hole. We made some bad decisions and got out of character a little bit.

We just kept going to him. He made plays. He had a couple plays where he got in the paint, and he was able to finish and take a hit.
everybody ourselves ready
Everybody is disappointed, but we've got to get ourselves emotionally ready to come back.
