It hasn't been like an overnight thing or even an over-the-summer thing. It's been a continuous process really since we signed him. His improvement's been constant, yet dramatic when you look at it.
consider considered deep few guys hand mistakes shots
We never consider that. Tonight, I actually considered it. I thought about it because they were making so many unbelievable shots. The shots they were making were unbelievable, consistently deep and with a hand in their face. We had very few mistakes out there defensively. Guys were making shots from 35 feet.

We needed to take charge and win the boards, and we clearly did that in the second half.

We had everybody step up. We had five guys in double figures.

We haven't played in so long, it seems. I know the guys are anxious to play. I'm sure glad it's Saturday. I don't know how much longer we could wait to play a game. The guys want to play, and I'm ready to play.
comeback days energy good opportunity plenty ready rest return
We haven't had a lot of 3 or 4 days off so far. It's a good opportunity to get some rest and comeback with plenty of energy and determination. I think it's going to be a good thing and we'll be ready to go when we return to practice.
best conference debating league maybe nobody quality recruiting somebody teams
The quality of teams in this league is outstanding. It's the best conference in the country. No one is even debating that anymore. We used to say it in recruiting and somebody would say, 'Well, maybe the ACC.' Nobody is questioning it anymore.

Those are the things that separate him from the other guys, his passing and his touch. And he's willing to pay the price.

We're still trying to figure out what it is. I'm not sure where he stands as far as playing.

We have to win the battle on the boards. We practice it every day.

We came out of the gate and executed throughout. We didn't have a lot of time to practice for Syracuse and their 2-3 zone, but mentally, we talked about a lot of what we wanted to do to attack it.

What we were able to do more in the second half was contain their quickness and ability to get penetration. We just had to stay with our game plan.
carries enjoys great guys proud winner
He's a great player. He's been a winner from the day he got here. The guys know that. They can sense it. It carries over with his competitiveness. The guys are watching, and I think Carl enjoys it. He relishes it. He's proud of what he's done here, and he should be.
