capable game mentally physically saying win
I find myself saying the same things about him. He is physically capable and mentally capable of doing anything to win a game for you.
ask great worried
I feel great right now. I didn't ask if he could play. I was more worried about his future. And they said he's fine.
gerry shirts sons spent wearing weekend
I feel like we spent a weekend in Scranton. My sons were wearing Gerry McNamara shirts (but) not during the game.
circumstance given took understand
Given the circumstances, I understand why it took longer.
officers people police street walking
Getting on the bus, police officers know everybody. People walking down the street know all the players' names. It is fun, but it is a challenge.
gone guys hard imagine name people ranked season understand wants
I don't think we understand how hard people are going to come at us. These guys have never gone through a season like this, ranked early, getting so much attention. Everyone else wants to make their name off you. You can't imagine how hard people come at you.
describe found great relax second sign time using word
I don't think I've ever used the word grind, but I've found myself using that word a lot to describe this season. There was just never a time to relax this season. There was not one second to relax. But that's the sign of a great league.

agent difficult hire lottery might team thinking top
If some team told him they would take him in the first round, he might hire an agent and go. That's why I'm thinking it's so difficult for him. He's not a clear-cut lottery pick. If he was top 15, I'd make him go, I really would.
might rested
He might not be able to play in the Connecticut game. They've told us that if he doesn't get rested and get well, this could really linger.
four games good people rough speed speeding stay time
We try to play our four guards, but sometimes we have games where we get off to a good start, and we can speed people up and stay with it. We were having a rough time speeding them up.
basketball college defensive drilling game hit incredible offensive percentage shot teams terrible
We're pretty defensive-minded and when you look at Louisville's defensive percentage and the 3s they hit, you just feel terrible about how you played. Then you look and we hit 14 3s and that's unbelievable. That was just an incredible college basketball game with two outstanding offensive teams drilling big shot after big shot.
basketball responsibility states united
We take the responsibility of representing United States basketball very seriously,
dirty four great guy keeps nobody talks work
He's always the one nobody talks about. Everyone talks about the four guards. Well if there's four guards, there's one other guy but we never talk about him. He does all the dirty work and he keeps a great attitude.
