best bothered country defense defensive game good great lead likes national scoring team wins
The team that wins the national championship doesn't usually lead the country in defensive scoring average. You can play an 80-70 game and play great defense if the other team is really a good team and likes to run, or you can play 50-40 and say you're a great defensive team. That never bothered me. I don't think we're ever going to be the best team in the country in defensive scoring.
bit break defense defensive good intensity sell start struggling time
Our defensive intensity was really good to start the game. I had to sell the idea that if you play really good defense most of the time and you're struggling a bit offensively, the defense will break some things loose.
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.
decided defensive help inside knew last night test
We decided last night to help inside because they're pretty physical. We knew they like to go inside so it was a defensive test for us, too.
coming earn experience four good individual player players returning several takes
I know what it takes to win, and it's up to each individual player to make that happen. We have to earn the right to be a good team. We have several returning players that got a lot of experience as sophomores and juniors, and we have four new players coming in that want to get things done. Hopefully, that will be infectious.
forward looking next player time
I'm looking forward to it. This time of the year, if you're a player or a coach, you like these next two months.

Each night it seems like someone is stepping up.
good jones mike saying
Everybody's been saying they want to see how good Mike Jones is. Well, he's a pretty good player.
adjust both contact ends free game held helped throws
The big thing was they were averaging 26 free throws a game and we held them to 15. That helped us a lot. I thought the contact was there at both ends of the court. You try to adjust to how the game is being called.
After that, ... there is a lot of confusion.
boston concerned talking
I haven't been talking about it today, and I'm going to talk about it tonight. We have Boston College, that's all I'm concerned with.
great job proud
I'm very proud of our team. We did a great job in just about every situation.
both game ncaa reason tournament
It was a big game for both teams, (FSU) got the win, and there's no reason why they shouldn't be an NCAA Tournament team. I think they can get in (the NCAA Tournament) and do some damage.
ncaa next talk year
I want to find out what's important, to really look into it and talk to some people. All I want to know going into next year is what we need to do, schedule-wise, to get into the NCAA tournament.
