building quality
It was important for us to get a quality win. Hopefully, this is a building block.
game next win
You think about (the tournament). But it doesn't matter, you have to win the next game.
pick time
We're battling, and that's all you can do. This time of year, you can't make any trades, you can't pick up anybody. You have your team. This is what you do. You go play.
came four game knew played proud team tech virginia
We knew this game was going to be close. Virginia Tech had played that way their first four games. We had to be tough. We weren't really sharp, but I was proud of the way the team came out at halftime. We played pretty well once we got going.
certainly georgia shown team tech
We know we have to play well. Georgia Tech is a young team that certainly has shown it can play.
car nowhere road wrecks
There are car wrecks on this road because there is nowhere to go. We need (wider roads).
situation tough
We're in a tough situation right now. We'll find out what we're made of.
against anybody anyone aware defending knew last line percent shot
We were aware of what he did last year. We knew he shot 70 percent from the 3-point line against us. But we're not defending anybody from the 3-point line right now, so he's no different than anyone else.
effort stayed stretch tough
I'll take that effort we had. We stayed tough down the stretch when we could have let them go.
eight guys half last played playing toward
I'll take our guys the way they played today, and we'll go play and see what happens. We're 4-4 for the first half of the league. I think we're getting there toward playing the way we have to play now for the last eight games.
everybody good happens hard hope overcome players wait worked
I know I've worked hard, and I know the players have worked hard this year. We've had to overcome some things, and I hope that's good enough. We're going to be just like everybody else: we're going to wait and see what happens Sunday. That's all we can do.
advantage becomes best gets good guys mistake passing respect share time
I really respect the way they play. They share the ball, and when your best two guys do it, it becomes contagious. If you're a good passing team, you have an advantage on a lot of teams. B.C. gets you every time you make a mistake on defense.
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.
