athletics dan dribble great shoot versatile
Dan is a great athlete. He's a very versatile guard. He can take you off the dribble and shoot the three. You can't sag on him and you can't play him tight.
good great guards image mirror point quick score
(Hampton is) very good and athletic. They're a lot like us. They have quick guards and are really a mirror image of us. They can score right with us point for point. It should be a great game.

He's a great player. He missed the first half of the season for us. Since he's been back, he's been great. He's been a scorer his whole life. Once again, he proved that he knows how to score.

They liked him and they really came after him. They really pursued him, really wanted him.
danny guards handle shoot
The thing I really like about Danny is he's very versatile. He can handle it and shoot it. He's not one-dimensional. A lot of guards can do one or the other. He's able to do both. That's what makes him a scholarship player.
ball happy picked pressure quarter second
We weren't happy being up two at halftime. I wasn't happy with our ball pressure in the first quarter and I really wanted them to pressure the ball and, in the second half, they picked it up.

We were reading the paper and it was naming the schools that have done it. I told the guys, 'When you can count them on one hand, you know you're truly approaching greatness.

This team hasn't won anything. We didn't win our section. We didn't win our Christmas tournament. We haven't played good basketball for a month.
anyone game guards lead offense plan played pressure ran size stuff took
We went into the game with the plan to pressure their guards as much as anyone we played all year. We did that, and then on offense, our size took over. We got an eight-point lead and got into our half-court stuff and ran our offense through our big guys.

(Brian's) the best sophomore I've ever coached. He's got tremendous skills. He has true mark of a Division I player. He can do things that you can't coach. He jumps out of the gym, he can shoot and handle, plus he's long and athletic. I'm glad I have him for two more years.
