beloved bob cares guy
Bob is probably the most beloved guy out here. He is a fixture here. He really, really cares so much about this event.
affect gets guys regular sure team teams trying
Every team that gets into the NIT has different feelings. Some teams are very excited. Other teams are trying to get over the disappointment of the regular season. I'm sure our guys are disappointed; I'm disappointed. But I don't let that affect the way I coach.
benefit good guys position resolve seniors team year younger
What you have to try to do is put yourself in as good a position as you can put yourself into. Probably, we didn't get into a real good position this year with some of the things that happened. Hopefully, the younger guys on the team benefit from that and the seniors get a little different resolve as they leave.
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.
expect game good guys job ready second start time
You don't expect a game like that going into it, and our guys did a good job of being ready to play but also being ready to play at the start of the second half. It was good to see, especially at this time of year.
events favorite guys labor talk ticket toughest
It was a labor of love, and it was the toughest ticket to get. Guys still talk about it and say that was one of their favorite events at this rodeo.
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.
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.
bench few guys players quite sitting
Duke's done that for quite a few years now. Players know their roles. You don't have a lot of guys sitting on the end of the bench who think they should be playing.
club guys shoot women
At first a lot of the guys at the club were like, 'What do you want women to come out here and shoot for?'
good guys job rewarded tough win wins year
It's a tough thing because I thought our guys did a good job this year to win 19 games. A lot of times 19 wins are rewarded by going to the NCAA.
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.
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.
