great job
They didn't play scared. He wanted them to attack, intelligently, and they did a great job of that.
against basketball believe five guys happened lose maybe mood players plays refuse seconds washington winners
They find a way to win. A lot of the things that happened against Washington were plays that players make. Guys who refuse to lose a basketball game, guys who are down by five with 30 seconds to go but don?t believe they?re going to lose. And that, as a coach, you don?t teach. Maybe you try to set the mood that we?re still here, but you can?t set the mood if you don?t have winners with you.

basketball easy game life tough
They are a tough, tough basketball team. They made our life awfully, awfully miserable. We thought the game was going to be as easy as it was early.
coming guess miserable people
There were no barbs coming from this program. Miserable people write things when they don't have anything else to do. I said something in jest. I guess I shouldn't have.

There's a chance that one of the parents will be moving up here with one of the players if everything goes through. I shouldn't pre-judge, but in most instances like this, they face a loss of housing privileges. If that happens, one of the parents will be moving with one of the players.
easy proved ready
There isn't an easy one left, which is good. We proved that we're ready now.

This is a sad day and a happy day, all in one.
awful complaints-and-complaining games
This is one of those games where I don't have an awful lot of complaints.
appear good stepped team
This is our team and it's a pretty good one. When Rudy didn't play well, Denham stepped up. There were other guys, too. We appear to be a pretty good team with a lot of answers.
game inside outside quite
Quite frankly, you have to go to somebody. You have to have your inside game or your outside game. And, usually, somebody's got to make plays.
complete five games quite team
Quite frankly, we've probably had five complete games all year. We've been a team of lapses.
bit difference given higher lots maybe prepared problems providence quite somebody team
Providence has given us lots of problems and Timmy (Welsh) has prepared his team well. I think the only difference between Providence and maybe somebody a little bit higher in the (Big East) standings, quite frankly, is that these are young kids.
