again early half hole hurt improved rushing second
We were so impatient, rushing things offensively and that hurt our defense. We improved in the second half but again that early hole was huge.
against couple freshmen improved ready second teams three
We had three freshmen out there most of the second half, and I don't think many teams are doing that against this kind of competition. It's not to get ready to play in a couple of years, they're going to be out there now. Through 11 games, they've improved significantly, especially on defense, and you don't see that very often out of freshmen.
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.
good hamilton improved last numbers player shoot step type
Hamilton is a big-time player who put up big numbers last year. He's had some injuries, but he can get it going at any time. He is very good around the basket. He can also step out and shoot it. I thought he was an all-league type player last year. And he's improved this year.
days despite fact good last playing stressed three
We weren't playing well despite the fact that we stressed the last three days about getting off to a good start.
flight
We think he's going to be on the flight (Thursday).
battle free good playing second teams throws win
It was two good teams playing well. They made free throws (11 for 14 in the second half), and we need to win the rebounding battle more than we did.
good ncaa playing teams tournament won
They are an NCAA Tournament team. It was two very good teams playing out there. We won the battle.
believe winning
The winning started when he got here. I don't believe in coincidences.
five game gotten last teams time together
Every time these teams have gotten together in the last five years, every game has been like this down to the end. Every game has been a battle.
gave good minutes played sam
Sam played well. He gave us good minutes (season-high 28).
aaron against couple finished freshman great passes played playing previous sam second virginia west
Sam played well against West Virginia the previous two games. He finished well in the second half. He got great passes from Aaron a couple of times. He's just a freshman playing against seniors. That's why he's getting better.
conference good played prepared since surprised teams
Our conference has prepared us better than any other conference since I've been around the Big East. I'm not surprised how it has played out because of how many good teams there are here.
close putting worries
I wanted to. I actually thought about putting him in when it was a close game. I have no worries about putting him in.
