al both great guys job kyle
When both guys went with Al ... Kyle Lowry actually did a great job of offing to Allan and got it to (Sheridan). It was a great play by all three.
ability beauty care foul fun gets guys kyle mike needed randy rebounds score team tonight trouble
That's the beauty of this team. We have a lot of guys who have the ability to score, but give it up because of the other guys. And then when they're needed, they'll do it. Like tonight, we needed Mike and Kyle to score and they did. Randy gets 10 rebounds tonight and he's in foul trouble and he doesn't care because we won. It's a fun team to coach.
anybody kyle seen
He was really getting into Kyle. I haven't seen anybody get into Kyle where he couldn't get where he wanted to go.
basketball campus coming kyle missing pick rather semester
Look at Kyle missing the first semester and coming back and being able to play because of his basketball IQ. Shane has not been on campus the whole first semester, and has been able to come in and pick things up rather quickly.
came good guys happened intrigued kyle mike played players playing
If he and Mike came, we wouldn't be able to get Kyle (Lowry). If we didn't get Mike and got (Shakur), we probably could get Kyle. Players like playing with good players. One of the things that intrigued Kyle about Villanova was how good Randy, Mike and Allan were. When he came and played with them I think he was impressed. Sometimes some of these guys like being around other real good players and I think that's what happened in Kyle's case.
al doctor great looked report worse
We just got a report from the doctor at the hospital, and it is great news. It actually looked a lot worse than it was. Al is going to be released, and he has vision.
best gather handled impressed incredibly season sit wants
We will sit down when the season is over and we will gather all the information, and there is no one that wants what's best for him more than any of us. I have been incredibly impressed with the way he has handled this.
loving students
The students are all yelling, 'Final Four, Jay,' ... It's fun. We're loving it.
coaches earn high honor obviously regard
Is that with an asterisk? ... It's an honor because obviously the coaches have a high regard for our players. Now we have to go out and earn it.
Right now we're No. 3, so I like it.
familiar
Pretty cool. I think that all of us are pretty familiar with each other.
ball control played second spread
Offensively, in the first half, I thought we played all right. Also, we just couldn't control Quincy. Second half, I thought we spread the ball out pretty well.
billy group incredible job year
Billy (Donovan) has done an incredible job getting this group together. I think what we all see in them this year is an outstanding team. They just really play off each other.
game ran understand
I wanted him to understand we ran that play for him with the game on the line.
