ball gets people runner time
Marcus is not the scorer, but he is the runner of the team. He gets the ball to the right people in the right time at the right spots.
incredible second
Marcus had an incredible triple-double. He had an incredible first half. He didn't have an incredible second half.
experience last playing wish
I wish we were playing tonight. Especially after our experience last week.
coaching continue evening feels good great guys happens players
It feels good so many guys contributed. We, the coaching staff, to some degree, have become so reliant on Rudy and he didn't have a particularly good evening and that happens to great players and will continue to happen.
best clearly league
I think clearly this is the best league in the country.
bracket difficult fair teams
I think our bracket looks, superficially, to me to be the toughest. That and Oakland look very, very tough. We got a fair but very difficult bracket. What it's got is teams that have been there before. And there's something to being there before.
felt games good shape team walking win winning
I still felt right to the end we would win the game. This team is walking out 30-4. If we keep winning 30 games a year, I think we'll be in pretty good shape and we'll win our championships again. We didn't get there this year, but we'll do that.
basketball blocked game good indiana matter minutes moments playing proud ran team
I think Indiana is a very good basketball team. I just think there were moments and minutes in that game where we were pretty special. It didn't matter who we were playing because we blocked everything, we ran out and we made good decisions. I'm very proud of my basketball team today.
heard matured
I think he's matured as a person. He's heard all the chants. They're getting old.
talking various
I think he?s that good. And from talking to enough various scouts, they feel the same way.
great involved mature matured situation
I think he?s become a lot more mature about a lot of different things. I think his life, because of the situation that he was involved with, has matured him a great deal.
break deal feels great highlight human learning opportunity player pressure tournament worn
I think he feels a great deal of pressure. He's a human highlight film, but he's a young player who is learning how to be good. This tournament could be an opportunity for him to break out a little bit. He kind of got worn down by the pressure of expectations.
fine good line teams worried
When teams feel good about themselves, you can tell. I get worried when we sometimes feel too good about ourselves. It's a fine line to walk.
allowed broke plays
We just broke down and allowed some plays that shouldn't have happened.
