basketball last minutes
Albany was magnificent for 30 minutes. We were equally, if not better or more magnificent, the last 10 minutes of the basketball game.

Albany gave us every single thing they had. I hugged Coach Brown, who I don't even know, and said to him very simply, 'You guys are special.' And they were special.

basketball bit both foot fortunate frankly game gods pedal quite smiling took win
It's both being fortunate and having the basketball gods smiling on you a little bit because quite frankly they had every right to win that game as much as we did. We took our foot off the pedal and we can't do that.

If he's not one of the best two or three kids in the country, then I guess I've lost my judgment about how good a guy can be.

If he plays well, then we've got a chance to win it. If Marcus were to sprain an ankle in the first 10 minutes against Albany, then we'll struggle but we would probably win. After that, it's 50-50 if we'll win a game or not.
