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.
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.
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.
believes four games situation sure team win
It's tough. Physically, it's got to be tough. But if you do get in that situation where you have to play (Thursday), I'm sure every team believes they can play four games and win the thing.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
