basketball came crap game kids lost relief running worry
You don't know how much of a relief (it was). I thought our kids came out and relaxed. We lost a game (to St. John's) the other day when there was too much other crap running around out there. This time, they could just play basketball and not worry about other things.

afford bad far four game half kids minutes percent played seven shooting tells
We played a bad game (against Providence) but do you know with four minutes to go we're down seven and they're shooting 60 percent and we're shooting in the 30s? That tells you if we shoot 60 percent we're up 20 points. That's what I had to tell our kids -- we're not that far off. But we can't afford to go and have a half like that ever.
kids people playing
A lot of people will say our kids are playing for me. No, they're playing to better themselves.

This game was about intensity and toughness, and I knew Ollie would bring that to the table. I just thought our kids did a great job playing with emotion and intensity. That's something we didn't do in the first half against Providence, but understand, that was an oddity. This team plays hard.

I thought our kids followed the game plan extremely well. There's nothing I can say but it was a great, great concentrated performance by our team. Our guys worked extremely hard. I thought we rebounded the ball well. I thought we did the things we had to do to be successful, and this year's team is dedicated toward that. They followed what we told them to do. They did everything to a tee.
focused kids leave
I thought our kids focused in on what we wanted to accomplish. They didn't leave anything unturned.

In essence, it was a reprieve from Wednesday because they heard a lot of stuff from us, from you the media, from everyone. I'll tell you something -- these kids responded well.
basketball guard kid league phenomenal playing top underrated
The kid is playing at a phenomenal level. And they really don't know about him. I don't know if it's because if you're not at the top of the league or whatever. ... He is in my estimation the most underrated basketball player, not just guard but player, in the country.
