cut knowing nba next remember time
I remember that very vividly. Not being there at the time and knowing - I've been there before. I was cut by the NBA so I know the feeling. It was tough, but the next day she really showed me what she was about.
given guys
I haven't really given it much thought. We're not guys that look at records.
fortunate university
I'm very fortunate to be at the University of Pittsburgh.
expects surprised type
I'm not surprised she's having success. She's always been the type of person that expects to win.
city concrete graduating kids means proof proud sell talk
I'll be very proud of that. That one means a lot. That's one of the things we sell in our recruiting. We talk about the university, about the City of Pittsburgh, about graduating and about getting better. We have concrete proof that kids get better here.
confidence players playing
They have players everyone wanted. They'll be playing with a lot of emotion, and they'll have a lot of confidence for this game.
ball beat close concern games lost shoot teams
They lost so many close games, that they have to be a concern for people. And also teams that can really shoot the ball and get it going, those teams are always a concern because there are always some games where they can beat anybody.
came decisions good great percentage shooting
It was just a big effort. Our shooting percentage was terrific. We just came out and made shots. They were good shots, but I thought we made some great decisions to get there.
beat full glad good ready rest rotation schedule tough
They've had a tough schedule recently, but they beat a very good team. They're very good, and they'll be ready to go. I was glad I was able to get in a full rotation (against Providence) and rest some of our guys, so that everyone is fresh. It's going to be a very tough game.
amazing change decisions game good lose offense outcome percent shoot shot tough
Not often do you lose a game when you shot over 70 percent in a half. It is tough to lose a game when you shoot that. I thought our offense was good and we made good decisions and (had) good looks. Its amazing how one little thing can change the outcome of the game.
changed fell good league normally playing teams testament
Nothing's really changed when you look at this conference. There were so many good teams that teams that would normally get a bye will be playing on Wednesday, but that's a testament to the league and how things fell on tiebreakers.
confidence guys numbers played previous stick
I had a lot of confidence in some of the guys that hadn't played a lot before this year. Their numbers didn't stick out from the previous year.
aaron ahead highly players
If you remember, Aaron wasn't highly recruited. Look at him now. He's better than a lot of the players recruited ahead of him.
guy playing
If you look at the numbers, a new guy will be playing significant minutes.
