ball game good impressed ran shared team
I'm not that impressed by my team very much, but we were very good tonight. I can't think of a game where we shared the ball so well and ran so well.
bracket city control family good honest people rather sunday thinking wrong york
I'll be honest with you that on Sunday all I'll look at is the bracket and see if it's a good bracket. But I'd rather go West. I think New York City is not good for us. There's too much family around. I like having control and not have other people thinking about the wrong thing.
believe board coming exactly expects great man passionate people saying truly woman
I like the way they attack. I like (Will Brown) saying he expects to win. If he said anything else, I'd be disappointed. Someone said, isn't that bulletin board stuff? No, it's not. It's what a man does or a woman does when they're passionate about something. They truly believe they can do it. I like people who want to win. Obviously, they're coming off a great streak. We're not coming off exactly a disaster. We're 27-3.
civic game god sure thank win
(Notre Dame) had every right to win that game just as much as we did. We had to will our way back in. Thank God it was here at the Civic Center. I'm not sure we could win that game on the road.
exact good opposite
Exact opposite teams. We've got to be good at what we do.
ball half hurt inability land paint second shooting
Their 7-for-9 shooting in the second half from 3-point land was something that really, really hurt us deeply. But the inability of us to get the ball into the paint was probably the thing that killed us.

I'm incredibly sad to have to face this group because I've told everybody how much I love them and how much I'm going to miss them. I miss them right now. I don't want them to leave. They are great kids.

complaints-and-complaining league takes
I'm not complaining, but that takes a toll. The league is just so difficult.
ask
If you ask me how I got here and why I coach, ... there's your answer.
kinds nor per played
In those 11 games, we did all kinds of things. We played and got better during this period. And I don?t know if we ever peaked, per se, nor did I want us to.
