boards game hitting offensive shooting
They were shooting over us. And you could really see them hitting the offensive boards as part of their game plan.
looked offensive sideline sitting
It looked ridiculous. Honestly, I am sitting on the sideline saying, 'We look like idiots.' Especially when they would go up and get an offensive rebound.
boards games offensive played poorly shot won
We've won games that way. We've shot poorly and then got on the offensive boards and played defense. They were just too good.
basketball college defensive drilling game hit incredible offensive percentage shot teams terrible
We're pretty defensive-minded and when you look at Louisville's defensive percentage and the 3s they hit, you just feel terrible about how you played. Then you look and we hit 14 3s and that's unbelievable. That was just an incredible college basketball game with two outstanding offensive teams drilling big shot after big shot.
glass offensive system
In our system we let him go to the offensive glass because he's so good.
good loves offensive
He's so good at rebounding. Normally, we always have him going for the offensive glass. He loves it, and so much of rebounding is passion.
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.

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.

The students are all yelling, 'Final Four, Jay,' ... It's fun. We're loving it.

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.
