atmosphere biggest experience face four games good guys hostile last ncaa similar
We had four good games up there. We got a lot of good things out of it. A lot of guys got some good, big-game experience in a hostile atmosphere similar to what we'll face in the NCAA tournament. We got better last week. That's the biggest advantage.
either five fought games gone
We've had five games that could've gone either way on the road. Every game, we've battled and fought hard.
areas beginning exhibition games improve improved maybe team year
This team has improved from the beginning of the year more than any team I've been around. From the exhibition games through the 14 (regular-season) games, they've improved tremendously. But we have a lot of areas we can improve in. Maybe that's because of our youth.
against behind believed developed games good happened last played player teams
We've always thought he was a very good player and always believed in him. He just happened to play on some very good teams behind some very good players. Last year, he developed and got better. He played in a lot of big games against a lot of good people.
conference games high leading matter shoot win
They're going to take them, no matter what. They're not leading the conference in 3-point percentage, but in attempts, they are. They're going to make some 3s. Sometimes, they win some games when they don't shoot a high percentage.
conference easy feed games high leading open shoot shot talk tough win
They're not leading the conference in 3-point percentage. They win games when they don't shoot a high percentage. They're going to make some 3s. They'll make some tough 3s. We talk about making them all tough shots. We can't give them any easy or open ones. When you give them an easy shot it just going to feed their confidence.
five four games people puts runs separate teams win
You see teams go on runs and win 20 games one or two years in a row. You really separate yourself if you do it three, four and now five years. It puts you on a whole other level. It's something a lot of people didn't think could be done here.
either five games gone good last records road undefeated
Records on the road usually aren't as good as records at home. We want to be undefeated on the road well but we had all five games down to the last minute. They could have gone either way.
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.

We weren't playing well despite the fact that we stressed the last three days about getting off to a good start.

We think he's going to be on the flight (Thursday).
