execute late
We've got to execute defensively late in games. That's what's killed us.
execute last turned
We were in a position, and it turned on us in the last minutes. We didn't execute well in the last minutes.
execute fabulous regulation
At times in regulation we didn't execute as well as I wanted us to execute. But I thought we were fabulous in overtime.
beat double gray guard leaves teams tough
We just got beat by a better team. When they go bad, they can always go in to Gray and you have to guard him. Most teams will double him, and that leaves someone else open. That makes them tough to beat.
best five games guys heart job kids played playing three
We were playing three games in five days. These guys played their heart out, especially in the first half. I don't feel bad. I thought our kids did the best job they could.
basketball game lost relax time worry
We lost a game the other day because we couldn't focus. There was too much other (stuff) going around out there. This time they could relax and just play basketball and not worry about things.
cleaned feelings forgive hard move stay
The stay here was good. We cleaned up the program. I want to move on. I have no hard feelings. I forgive but never forget.
beat forced goal guys hit shots time tough
Quincy went 5-for-20 and they forced that 5-for-20. Many times, he got mid-range shots but he had a tough time lofting it over their heads. Their goal was to take Quincy, make Quincy not beat them. Make the other guys beat them. And our other guys couldn't hit the shots today.
fabulous kept
Quincy was fabulous in the first half. He kept us in there.
definitely east eyes incentive madison square wrong
Quincy wanted to be there (in the Big East Tournament). In Quincy's eyes there definitely would've been something wrong (if he didn't) go to Madison Square Garden. I thought it was an incentive to him.
advice best decision future jack knows learn loyal millions offer people wait wants worry
Quincy is a loyal person and that's what people don't realize. That's why he's been with Jack so long. The thing Quincy knows is he still has a lot to learn and he wants to graduate. If someone is going to offer him millions upon millions, I have to be honest. I'll give him the best advice of what his future will be if he makes that decision (but) we'll wait because I don't want him to worry about this now.
guys happen needed understand won
Quincy called one and I told them we only had one and told them we needed one at the end. But those things happen I understand and we had no timeouts. I even told our guys if we had a time-out we would have won this game.
began coaching couple marks question questions
Question marks began after just a couple of losses. We were still on plan, but questions about my coaching began.
coming letting loss people
People still aren't letting me live down that loss to Providence. But we're coming along.
