both coaches game incredible pressure
Every game is such incredible pressure. That pressure is on both coaches and players.
conference game league looking rent seems sets tough tournament winning
Every league game seems like a conference tournament game to me. You're looking at two sets of standings: who's winning and who's at the bottom. It's a tough, tough thing on coaches. That's why I rent (a house) and I didn't buy.
conference east game intensity kids league question seems took tournament
I will tell you without any question that every league game I've been in part of in the Big East seems like a conference tournament game. There's an intensity and urgency. It took a while for our kids to get used to.
anywhere close coach games hope nice number people ray win
I won't win anywhere close to the number of games coach Ray Meyer won. But I hope that when it's all said and done that people will say that I was a pretty nice guy, the way they'll always be able to say about him.

Dan Fitzgerald had a great game and was responsible for the spread and the spread stayed the same from the first to second half.

It's not going to be good when you have games taken away from your progress.

I thought the difference in tonight's game was Palacios. I think he has been struggling a bit lately. I know he has been fighting injuries. He made a lot of shots in penetration around the basket.
body close developed eric fun game island left pick post proud push terrific tried
The only thing I would say is that when you play Wake, you have to pick your poison. We tried to close the perimeter down and left our post on an island. It's no fun being on an island with Eric Williams. He's going to push you into the ocean. He's a terrific player. I told him before the game I was so proud of the way he's developed his body and his stamina.
ability game key moved pass
The key to the game for us was our ability to pass the basketball. We moved it better than we have in a long time.
dictated game miss win
The game was dictated at the free-throw line. You can't miss 11 and win at this level.
point rebound spread strong
We had the opportunities to make shots. You get to a point where you have to make them. We got to rebound better. We're not strong enough to rebound consistently when we get spread out like that.
guy healthy rather side
Sammy to me is a guy who has to be healthy to play well. I'd rather come down on the side of safety.
both country east easy home league pressure teams trying twelve win
Both of these teams are trying to be one of the 12 that go to the Big East Tournament. That is a different kind of pressure than most teams in any league in this country face. ... Twelve teams are going. There is nothing easy on our schedule, and you have to win home games.
breaking great job
We did a great job of breaking it down into four-minute segments. I don't have a 19-point play.
