coming good guards knew stop
We knew their guards were good coming into the game. We didn't stop them in the first half; they scored at will. We were flat.
game hang knew second tough
We knew it was going to be a tough game, even when we got up 18 in the second half. For us to hang on like that and win, that was big.
capable good telling
We keep telling him how good he is and what he's capable of doing.
good guard puts tough
Thornton's really tough to guard when he puts it on the floor. He's just a good player.
felt game nobody players says time winning
Winning is what you have to do this time of year. Nobody says how you have to do it or how it looks, so that's what I was about today. I was going to try to win that game somehow, and the players felt the same way.
chance ourselves situation
We really didn't give ourselves a chance to see if we could be in a competitive situation in that first half.
effort gone playing point practice teams tough
The players, they're responsible for the way we're playing right now. It's their attitude, their effort in practice that allows us to play like this at this point in the season. You look around and see some teams that have gone through some tough things that aren't necessarily playing as well right now.
attitude effort fortitude mean players playing practice whatever
The players are responsible for whatever way we're playing right now, because it's their attitude and their effort in practice that allows us to play like this. To the players, you can say all the right things, but if the players don't have the fortitude to get it done, it doesn't mean anything as a coach.
contest expect good hopefully road scoring teams win year
We're like a lot of teams this year on the road, and hopefully we'll have a good performance. A lot of that comes from your defense. You can't get into a scoring contest on the road and expect to win very often. Most teams play better offensively at home.
team
You look much better if your team wins.
five great played
If we played great the first five minutes, it would have been easier.
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.
court execute shoot team
We didn't shoot well tonight, but we didn't execute well either. It's a team thing; everyone on the court has to take responsibility.
