came four game knew played proud team tech virginia
We knew this game was going to be close. Virginia Tech had played that way their first four games. We had to be tough. We weren't really sharp, but I was proud of the way the team came out at halftime. We played pretty well once we got going.
against anybody anyone aware defending knew last line percent shot
We were aware of what he did last year. We knew he shot 70 percent from the 3-point line against us. But we're not defending anybody from the 3-point line right now, so he's no different than anyone else.
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.
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.
