ball call heart inside points seven shown turned
We turned the ball over 26 times yet I think our heart was shown on enough occasions. When you're down 10 points or down seven points with something to go, you need to call upon the reserves. There's something inside you that won't let you lose.
ball both craig defense deserves east reason rest sets start top tuesday
Both offensively and defensively, Craig is a big reason we're 11-0. So Craig will start Tuesday (in the Big East opener) at Marquette. He deserves that right. His defense up top on the ball sets up the rest of our defense. He's been a godsend.

People will fall in love with Jeff Adrien. All he does is come to work, put the hard hat on, just keep getting balls off the glass. Hopefully, as we move up in caliber and size, he's still able to do that.

My greatest concern is ball-handling and getting the ball inside. If we get the ball inside, we'll be successful.

We?d be foolish not to get the ball inside anytime we can.
ball coaching great pass player plays pull roy seems tough watch
When you watch Roy play, you're watching, really, from a coaching standpoint, everything you want a player to be. He can pull up and make mid-range shots. He can pass the ball. He can rebound. He plays with great composure. He seems to want the ball in tough situations.
amongst backyard ball built cannot early east fulfill fulfilled games good hustling match offensive played team toughest unless win
A lot of times games are built up and they don't fulfill their promise. This game more than fulfilled its promise. Villanova may be, pound-for-pound, the toughest team that we've played anywhere, any time. Early in the game, we had to match their toughness. They were getting every offensive rebound. They were hustling like crazy. Unless you have a tough team, you cannot win this conference. It was like an old Big East backyard ball amongst two really good teams.
