consider played teams ten three top
We just played three teams I consider to be Top Ten teams and, right now, we're not a Top Ten team.
consider four games great monday nobody played row sad saturday teams three top weeks
We just played three teams I consider to be Top 10 teams and, right now, we're not a Top 10 team. It's sad we have to play great teams back-to-back ... that's not the right way. Nobody else has to do that, play back-to-back Saturday and Monday games two weeks in a row with three of four on the road. That's too much to ask.
beat final four good major maybe somebody teams three upset
We've got some really good teams. It's going to take a major upset for somebody to beat Connecticut. And three or four of our other teams are good enough to make a Final Four, maybe five.

We have three games in one week, which means you'll have one day of practice. Somehow, we need to get a little more proper spacing with the games.

When you lose three straight games, you lose a little confidence. And we've lost a lot of confidence.

We're not leaving out teams that can only win one game or no games. Now the reality is that we're leaving out teams that can win two and three and four games.
certainly final four sweet teams three tougher tremendous
It's certainly a tremendous challenge. I don't know if it'll be any tougher than when we had three Final Four teams and two teams get to the Sweet Sixteen. It can't be much tougher than that, but it'll be difficult.
caught four guys kept three
When they caught us, and they caught us three or four times, we kept going. Usually, when that happens, you let it go away a little bit. But these guys (Syracuse player) wouldn't let it go away.
ball coming doubt drive gerry guys looked released shoot soon three
When Gerry got the ball coming down, I set something up. I told him (to) drive and give it to one of three guys at the end of regulation. He looked at me and said, 'Can I shoot it?' I said, 'They're not going to let you shoot it. But if they do, shoot it. As soon as he released it, there was never a doubt that ball was nothing but net.
definitely four last overly physical problem teams three top
We're pretty good, and we're getting better. I can't say we're one of the top three or four teams in the country, but we're definitely better than we were last year. Our problem is overly physical teams give us trouble.
afternoon cincinnati couple games glad home lost night people playing saturday scheduling three upset won worst
I'm glad we won a couple of games because I would have said this anyway. But people would have thought I was just upset because we lost three games, which we could have. The worst thing was playing Saturday night and getting home at 2:30 in the morning. At least play an afternoon game in Cincinnati or something. The way that we're scheduling is just not going to work.

I believe, if I?m not mistaken, Bill Gates went to college for one year. I don?t think it hurt him, did it? I believe that every kid that goes to college for one or two or three or four years gains tremendously from it.
