discount hard plays
He works, don't discount that. He plays hard every play he's on the court.
attention certainly defensive great state team tough
He's certainly a great team defensive player. You don't get a lot of attention for that, but he makes N.C. State a very tough team defensively.
certainly college easier guys inside player stop three year
He was on his way. Player of the Year as a sophomore. He was certainly capable, but who knows? It's easier to stop an inside player because you can put three guys around him in college basketball.
best inside nobody player stops
He is the best inside player in the country. Generally, nobody stops him.
attention ball deserves feet good seven
Hansbrough deserves all the attention he gets. When they get the ball to him seven feet from the basket, they feel pretty good that they are going to score.
backing expansion happen ncaa teams
There are so many teams in the ACC that can go .500. You'd better be .500 (in the league). Nobody's backing into the NCAA Tournament. That isn't going to happen because of the expansion of the big conferences.
last pushed
He got pushed around a little last year, ... I don't think he'll get pushed around this year.
basketball bottom built conference everybody feeding four good leagues six strong top wins
There is no bottom feeding in our league. Everybody is really strong from top to bottom. They are all good basketball programs, and you don't have that four to six wins built into conference play like some leagues do.
people pounds realize
Sterling righted the ship. Without his contribution, I don't know how many we would have been down by at halftime. I don't think people realize that Sterling is 6-3, 200 pounds and, with his size, he can give people some trouble, especially on defense.
aware games proud starting teams ways
Starting games teams are more aware of him. We have to find ways to score, then the game comes to him. I was very proud of him. He was very mature.
basketball best games great playing teams tournament
I think all of the first-round games in the ACC tournament are going to be really difficult. Those will be some great games on Thursday. If you're a basketball fan, that may be the best day. Teams are playing for a lot on Thursday.
consistent four games gotten hard minutes needed next opportunity since
I just didn't think he got a consistent run. Some games he'd get 20 minutes, 25 minutes and then he'd get like four the next day and I think that's hard on any player. Since he's been with Seattle, he's gotten a lot of opportunity to play. He just needed a chance.
helped ncaa resources talking
I just didn't know a lot about the NIT, the new format, and in talking to C.M. Newton, that helped a little bit. I would think with the resources the NCAA has, they can make it a better tournament. We'll see.
career chris confident deal fully great last success successful university
Chris' career was outstanding here at the University of Maryland. He has contributed a great deal to our success the last 31/2 years. I'm fully confident Chris will be successful in life.
