chance effort gave good ourselves proud strength tonight
We gave ourselves a chance with this game. I'm proud of us tonight and I think we'll get a good effort at Virginia. I feel like with our strength of schedule, we can get to .500 (in the ACC) and give ourselves a chance.
effort good hard players team tough week
It was a really good team effort tonight. Obviously, this has been a tough week and it's been pretty hard to keep my focus, so it must be for the players also.
effort stayed stretch tough
I'll take that effort we had. We stayed tough down the stretch when we could have let them go.
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.
effort good overall
Hopefully, we can go from there. That was a very good effort overall for us. If we can play with that intensity, we'll be OK.
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.
night seems stepping
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.
