bit chest difference good saw somebody stepped teams
Somebody else stepped up for them and good teams do that. I thought I saw his chest swell a little bit after the first one. He was the difference in the game.
beaten good lost start today
We've been beaten this year, but I didn't think we lost any of those games, but we lost today. It was important for us to get off to a good start today but we didn't do it.
games good taken
It's not going to be good when you have games taken away from your progress.
biggest cannot good job kids knocked middle stand teams
The biggest thing, when you play teams like this, you've got to stand in the middle of the ring. You cannot get on your heels. I told them before the game, 'We're going to get knocked down, you've got to get back up.' And I thought the kids did a good job of that.
beat good hard hold job worked
We worked hard to hold them in the 60s. We got beat up on the glass, but ... we did a good job of guarding.
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.
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.
breaking great job
We did a great job of breaking it down into four-minute segments. I don't have a 19-point play.
beat bit glass quick spread
We got beat up a little bit on the glass because we got spread out a little. They're quick to the glass.
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.
