basketball behalf dangerous family fortunate injury last obviously positive prayers received thank
On behalf of Allan, his family and our basketball family, I would like to thank everyone for the well-wishes and prayers Allan has received in the last 36 hours. Obviously Allan is very fortunate to have come through a potentially dangerous injury with these positive results.
good himself mention
Not once did they mention he's a good shooter. I thought that was such a breakthrough for him. He's made himself a complete, all-around player.
bit coaches fans great guys happens hell lost players sure today toughest understood win
It?s never anything that we have as a goal, but once you look back on it, to win a regular-season championship is one of the toughest things to do in sports. Coaches and players know that. Fans usually get into tournaments and things like that. And that?s OK. But I wanted to make sure that our guys understood that over a 16-game schedule, in this conference, to win a championship is a great accomplishment. If we would have lost today and been 13-3 in this conference, that?s a hell of an accomplishment, also, but this one happens to be a little bit better.

(Smith and Dudley) are the kind of guys that when you play against them, it's tough to like them. But when you get to know them, they're great kids. You hate to play against them, though, because they kill you. They beat you up.
answered time
Every time we've been tested, they've answered the question.
great leader
The kid's the best. He's a great leader ... It's scary.
forward power randy reason small
Their unselfishness is the reason we can play Randy at the power forward and Allan at the small forward. They just want to win.
I'm not going to think about that right now.
benefit decision experience fully hard himself junior matter nba option player prove return support ultimately
I fully support Kyle's decision. He is working hard to prove himself as an NBA player and he also has the option to return for his junior year. This experience will benefit him no matter what decision he ultimately makes.
ball kept shooting
In the first half, that kept us in it, because we weren't shooting the ball very well.
