looks planned timing
The timing of this is incredible. I know it looks like we really planned this well.
age amazes constantly definitely great listen looks people perspective pick
There is definitely something God-given in him that enabled him from a young age to pick the right people to listen to. It constantly amazes me. ... Because of all those people, he's got a great perspective on life. He looks at the big picture.
advantage closed couple looks
We had a couple of looks that went in and out. That was our chance. You only get so many opportunities and we didn't take advantage and they closed us out.
black looks poked
It's unbelievable. If you look at him, he doesn't even have a black eye. He just looks like someone who got poked in the eye. It's a little watery, but it's not even swollen.
looks vision
It's his choice. He looks great. His vision is a lot better.
coming decide deep enthusiasm excited goal goes hoping looks matched slow time toward
I don't want to slow him down at all right now because he's excited about the possibility of coming back. I know he looks at it as his goal and I don't want to take away his dream. And if he does decide to play, I'm going to let him. I'm hoping as time goes on, his enthusiasm is matched with some deep thinking, which I think it will be, and then we look more toward the future.
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.
