both game hopefully improved january practices teams weekend
I think we've improved in every area, and I think they could say the same. That game was the first weekend in January before we started going through this gauntlet. I think both teams just have so many more experiences; so many more practices that have hopefully made us better in every area. And I think we both probably are.
adversity basketball cases continue excellent good guys health hopefully issues overcome played
Our guys are still doing some really good things. In some cases we've played excellent basketball during this stretch. We've overcome some adversity with some health issues and hopefully we'll continue to heal and get better.
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.
add basis continue daily evaluate hope
I really don't have much to add at this point. We'll continue to evaluate him on a daily basis and hope for the best.
fine good guys job led opportunity presents scoring stops talk tonight transition
We always talk about (scoring in transition). We're fine scoring in transition if the opportunity presents itself. Sometimes it doesn't. Tonight our guys did a good job of getting some stops that led to some transition opportunities for us.

To be on the road and do that shows tremendous constitution and heart by our team.
both cases duke field free gave goals mind missed offensive rebounds resulted shooter stands three
The one thing that stands out in my mind is the field goals we gave up after missed free throws. If I am not mistaken, the Duke shooter got two offensive rebounds on missed free throws. I think in both of those cases they resulted in follow-up three pointers.
experience feed good guys played three together wealth
Those three guys have a wealth of experience and have played together a long time. As good as they are individually, they feed off each other very well.

We fully expect him to be with us and have a terrific senior season.
good knock looks
We got some good looks but just didn't knock 'em down.
boston came college easily great
Very little came easily for us. Boston College was great defensively, especially down the stretch.
definitive doctors pinpoint terms
Even the doctors can't pinpoint and give us definitive terms or a timetable.
believes ben certainly coaching continues good happen hard limited player playing potential question seen since smart staff though time worked
Ben has worked very hard since he got here and though he has seen limited time he is playing smart and making things happen when he is out on the court. If he continues to progress, as our coaching staff believes he will, there is no question McCauley will be a good player in this conference. The potential is certainly there.
close game league run seems unique
We've been on an unbelievable run of these lately. It seems like every game comes down to the end, but we're not unique in this league when it comes down to close games.
