began early great job lead
We did a great job early ? especially with our defense. We got the big lead but then we began to get a little sloppy.
great job particular players
I thought our players did a great job the way we started out today, with everything that's going on around this particular game.
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.
great job proud
I'm very proud of our team. We did a great job in just about every situation.
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.
bad chris coach good halfway head job lost personally player responsibility school semester successful sure time wants whatever
This is the first time in 28 years as a head coach I've lost a player halfway through the season. It's something that I personally take responsibility for. I feel bad about it. My job now is to make sure that Chris does a good job in school this semester and is successful with whatever he wants to do after school is out.
earn good job slip sure teams time
There's more good teams out there now, so you have to do everything right to make sure you're one of those good teams. If you slip a little bit, you're not going to be one of those good teams. We have to do a better job of making sure we do everything right so when it comes time to play you earn the right to be a good team.
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.
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.
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.
