I'm sorry we didn't do it sooner. It was a great effort by our team.

I'm very excited about the direction of our program.

I'm not surprised. That's the Atlantic Coast Conference.
adversity endure few groups grow last people season team type year
There's very few people or groups that don't have to endure some type of adversity before they grow from it. I think most every season has got that element. Last year our team responded really well.
against basis contend continue evaluate feels florida himself hopeful hurt limited minutes perhaps practice practiced relative remains since sore today until
He's sore. We only got limited minutes from him the other night. Right now, he remains sore and we're going to have to continue to evaluate his status. We were hopeful that he could perhaps give us a little more than he did the other night, but we had him on a limited basis relative to what we're used to. He's not going to practice today (Friday) and he didn't practice yesterday. Since he hurt himself against Florida State, he has not practiced at all. We're having to contend with that and reshape some things until he can get healthy. We'll continue to evaluate how he feels and hope for the best.
capacity claim drive effective either goes great low shot terrific time tremendous
He's just a tremendous presence. He has terrific hands, and as effective as he is in the low post, he's just as effective off the lane, at the elbow. He really has a great capacity to drive the basketball. And every time a shot goes up on either end of the floor, he has a claim to it.
approach great himself impressed mental mindset personally presents seem tremendous
I don't personally know Tyler, but it would just seem to me that he has a tremendous mindset and a great mental approach to the game. I've really been impressed with the way he presents himself and competes consistently.
last mental team year
I don't know how mental it is. They were better tonight. They were a better team than we were last year as well.
build chemistry chicken helps offense
I don't know if the offense helps build chemistry or chemistry helps build the offense. It's kind of like the chicken and the egg.
given guys plays point truly
He's truly on one of those guys who plays to the point where you've got to take him out of the game, because he's given you everything he has.
relentless threat time
He's an outstanding player. He's a threat to get a double-double every time out. He is especially relentless on the glass.
ashamed compare good great guys hard played team
I can't compare games. I thought our team played great basketball. Our guys have nothing to be ashamed of. Our guys competed really hard and played really well. I want them to feel good about themselves.
glad sorry
I'm glad we did it. I'm sorry we didn't do it sooner.
mind played
I kind of played Ping Pong in my mind with what to do.
