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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
great seen talented
We have seen (Russia), they are very talented and a very tough, disciplined team. It should be a great battle.
seed
There is pressure. You don't want to be the first one seed to go down to a 16 seed.
great loved
We loved being here. It was great being comfortable here.
against execute
We've just got to execute better against better teams.
good hurting job
We did a very good job and I give (Smith) credit. He was hurting us in the first half. He's really good.
effective hurt kept press
When our press was effective at times, it kept them from getting into their (half-court) sets. When they got into their sets, he hurt us.
depending knew people teams three
We knew there were going to be times that we're going to play bigger, even three forwards depending on teams we play. It's not real complicated. We can put people in different spots.
body defensive excited fresh good kept mike
We kept Mike and Allan on (McNamara). We wanted to keep a fresh body on him. These two are very good defensive players. They really get excited about guarding people.
blew hit night prepared three
You have to be prepared to have an off-shooting night and still win. We could have hit two or three more threes and everyone would have said we blew them out.
