depth time
I think our depth over time just got them a little tired.
adjust almost beat challenged east ferocious finesse level matched matter night physical physically playing prepared record style team teams
I think night in and night out the level of physical play you're going to be matched with will be something they'll have to adjust to. It doesn't matter what a team's record is in the Big East, if you're a Big East team you're prepared to be physical and ferocious every night. I don't know of any teams have a finesse style of play. It's almost like playing football, where you can physically get beat up. You're going to get physically challenged every night.
guys handle settle
I just wanted our guys to settle down. We have experienced guys; they know how to handle it.
anytime guards outlet
Anytime our guards got into their guards, there was always an outlet to one of their forwards. I was very impressed.

The bad news is, he's still pretty ill. He's got a high fever. He's still feeling the effects of tonsillitis. We don't know when we're going to get him back.
bothered confidence great last nice senior strong tournament year
That is nice for him, and last year in the tournament he struggled. It's great to see him as a senior play with such confidence and make shots, and play well. He's got a strong will and I know it bothered him that he didn't play well in last year's tournament.
amazed days few prepared saw until watching
It's incredible. We all saw what happened, we were there. I was prepared up until a few days ago not to have him for this game. I'm just amazed watching him do this. It's a miracle, that's all I can say.
definitely kids love plans
It's definitely different. Our kids love the challenge. Everyone is making plans for Minneapolis. It's a completely different challenge.
concepts country explain gets great mention players rest shows smart talk tv watch
It's amazing, I watch all the TV shows and I see them talk about all the great players in the country and they never mention him. He's so smart in everything. All the little concepts we tell him about, he gets it and can explain it on a player's level. That's what he does with the rest of the guys.
came mike pass point recruit tried wait
Do we pass up Mike to wait for Mustafa. That's what it came down to. We weren't going to pass up on Mike. We still tried to recruit Mustafa after that point and he told us that he wasn't interested.
bruised craig painful stiff
Craig bruised his tailbone. It's pretty painful and stiff right now. He could be (out).
best news possible
It's the best possible news we could have had.
answer means questions
It means I won't have to answer questions from recruits.
exact happened playing risk
It's going to be important for him to get back playing and just feel good. The only risk he has is the exact same thing happening, but that's the same risk as if it never happened before.
