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.
contest expect good hopefully road scoring teams win year
We're like a lot of teams this year on the road, and hopefully we'll have a good performance. A lot of that comes from your defense. You can't get into a scoring contest on the road and expect to win very often. Most teams play better offensively at home.
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.

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.

It'll cover expenses to a certain extent but there are going to be some costs we have to pick up. We don't know how that's going to work out,

We might have worn them down a little bit at the end of the first half.
