bit break defense defensive good intensity sell start struggling time
Our defensive intensity was really good to start the game. I had to sell the idea that if you play really good defense most of the time and you're struggling a bit offensively, the defense will break some things loose.
control good leads next offense patience periods pop run rush score shows start sudden taking time wait work
You go through periods where you start to rush and all the sudden it shows up. You have to work on it, get that under control and wait for the next thing to pop up. You think you can score taking shortcuts. You don't just take your time and run your offense and be patient. Patience usually leads to really good shots.
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.

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.

almost basketball best college decision found hurt level limited lottery maybe needed time year
I thought he needed another year because he was limited offensively. Just another year of basketball at the college level wouldn't have hurt him. (But) once we found out he was going to be a lottery pick, then for a player, you almost have to go. There really wasn't much of a decision there. For Chris, maybe that was his best time to go.
felt game nobody players says time winning
Winning is what you have to do this time of year. Nobody says how you have to do it or how it looks, so that's what I was about today. I was going to try to win that game somehow, and the players felt the same way.

It's kind of a thank-you type of thing for our fans. It's all about practice tomorrow. Tonight, it's just a good time for everybody.

It's a great time of the year for all of the teams. To see how we finish, how many games we can win in the last couple of weeks, it really tests your team.
pick time
We're battling, and that's all you can do. This time of year, you can't make any trades, you can't pick up anybody. You have your team. This is what you do. You go play.

Our focus and our only focus is on Boston College. We have to do battle one game at a time before we can do any celebrating.

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.
