against game level scoring tells tonight took
We need to get our forwards involved. We've been working on it. Will has been defending, making plays, but not scoring as much. Tonight he took it to another level in a big game against an outstanding team, which I think tells you a lot about Will Sheridan.
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.

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 (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.

I wanted him to understand we ran that play for him with the game on the line.

I wanted him to shoot more. I said, 'I'm not going to start you unless you shoot.' Believe it or not, he's unselfish.
