affront best country guards point took
I've said Marcus, in my opinion, is the best passer that I've ever coached. I think he took affront to that. Now he's scoring. There aren't many better point guards in the country than him.
affront along best games guards point took
I've said all along that Marcus is the best passer I've ever coached. I think he took affront to that, because he had back-to-back 20-point games (in the tournament). There aren't many better point guards in the country.
basketball best capable college game good guys limelight man player sixth terrific
Rashad wanted to be so good tonight, and of all guys who I thought wanted the limelight at home, it's really unfortunate he didn't have the kind of game he's capable of having. He's a terrific basketball player ... the best sixth man in college basketball.
best flowing games kentucky playing tournament
Sometimes it can be the best thing in the world for you. A lot of times when you go through a down period, you find out a lot more about yourself than times when everything is flowing and you're winning. To some degree, Kentucky is already tournament-tested. They've been playing games with tournament implications for a while now.
best certainly easily eight four himself instead perhaps
Rudy had perhaps his best all-around game. He was unselfish. Certainly he could have scored 30 himself very easily but instead had eight assists, five-six blocks, four steals.
basketball best capable few games hopefully hot jump peek played seasons tremendous
We really played our best basketball. It was one of the few games I can say you could just enjoy. It was just really a tremendous basketball game for us and hopefully it's a peek into what we're capable of. Seasons are really funny. But I think those things are good. We jump right now into a hot stove.
best clearly league
I think clearly this is the best league in the country.
best dad lost
I lost my dad when I was 15, ... Those were the best 15 years of my life.
best defend game good guess guy judgment kids lost playing three
There are kids who score, kids who rebound; there are kids who pass, kids who defend and kids who have a feel for the game. He has all those attributes. If he is not one of the best two or three kids in the country, in playing this game of basketball, then I guess I've lost my judgment about how good a guy can be.
ball best limit
We'll have to take away the 3-pointers as best we can. We'll have to limit Quinn from having the ball as much as we can.
achievement amazing anyone best feeling field tremendous
It's a tremendous sense of accomplishment and an amazing feeling to win. This field was one of the best ever and there isn't anyone here who didn't get their money's worth.
awful best good hard hard-work kids league played players prouder tribute work
It's a tribute to the hard work the kids put in because they played in the best league in the country. I think our kids should be honored. We have an awful lot of good players in this league. I couldn't be prouder of our kids.
best everybody rooting
We're rooting for everybody we beat. That's the best way to put it.
ball best certainly concern quickness size utilize
They're going to utilize their quickness the best they can. We're going to try to use our size as much as we can. Certainly that makes for a very interesting battle. My guys' concern is getting the ball inside. If we get the ball inside, we'll be successful.
