bigger guy
There's never been a guy with a bigger heart, I'll tell you that.

You always wondered how the relationship was going to work out with two guys that are so competitive. But both guys wanted to win so bad that they knew it was the right thing.
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.
anxious business care guys played ready took
We'll be ready to go. Our guys will be anxious to go. We took care of business (Saturday). We played very well throughout.
capable concern guys near number ourselves progress talked
We don't concern ourselves with our record. It's all about getting better. We're not near where we need to be defensively. That's what we talked about after the game. We need to make significant progress defensively, and with the number of young guys we have, I think we're capable of doing that.
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.
double everybody five guys step
We had everybody step up. We had five guys in double figures.
anxious glad guys longer played ready sure wait
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.
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.
battle former great guys key tough
He's a great player, a tough kid, a former McDonald's All-American. The key is we have tough guys who can battle down low, and we're deep, so we can keep rotating guys in to play him very physical.
great guard guys hard nine playing step team tone
Carl set the tone with his nine assists. That makes us hard to guard when he's playing like that. It was a great team effort. We had a lot of guys step up.
depth foul guys keeps sound strengths stress team
One of our strengths as a team is that we don't foul or over-extend ourselves. We try to play sound positional defense, which keeps us out of that kind of trouble. Even with the depth we have, we always stress to our guys that we can't give fouls away.
confidence good guys obviously seem step team
Levon was obviously very good tonight. It was a team effort. I like our 11 guys and I have confidence in all of them. I think you can see that and they all seem to step up.
guys half knew second strong team
We knew as a team that they were going to come back strong in the second half and our guys responded well.
