couple game good knew played plays
We did a lot of things well; we battled, we played hard, rebounded well and did a lot of good things, but at the end of the game we knew it would come down to a couple of plays at the end of the game and it just didn't go our way.
bad both guys knew relationship win wondered work
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.
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.
guy knew might pass
We knew that he might not get the assist, but he would probably pass it to the guy who would set it up.
knew
We knew it would come down to the end.
continue good knew principles shots stick tough
We knew what they want to do and how good they are off the dribble. They make tough shots and, when they do, you have to continue to play defense, to stick to your principles and rules. That's what we did.
ben constant emphasis knew likely percent point priority understood
At worst, we're 90 percent, and we'll likely be at 100 percent by the end of the summer. When Ben and I got here, we understood the numbers, and we knew what our priority had to be. This has been a constant point of emphasis for us.
beat coming free ground improve knew ways
I thought we just battled and ground out a victory. We beat them on the boards, which is a thing we knew we had to do coming into the game, and we beat them badly. We also had to get better at making free throws, and we need to improve defensively. We still have a long ways to go.
coming game knew playing team teams tough
I thought they were really a tough team and got after it. We knew that coming into the game and we know it now. It was two teams getting after it, playing aggressive.
came couple knew plays roll
At the end of the game, as we knew it would, it came down to a couple plays at the end and they just didn't roll our way.
believe happen immediate knew lend obviously success timing
I knew she'd have success. I knew it was going to happen, but obviously didn't know it would happen this quickly. The timing did not lend one to believe there would be immediate success in the first year.
double finding great guys job knew open passes passing percentage shooting shows team
The great passes ... the shooting percentage shows the passing decision-making our guys made throughout. Great job passing it and finding the open guy and recognizing their double team (on Gray), which we knew they were going to do.
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.

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