Bobby Jones looks to me like a guy who can make a living in the NBA just playing defense. He's an absolutely magical player defensively.
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.

caught expect good particular played playing tape terrific
We caught them when they were playing terrific basketball. And we caught them off guard. I could see it on tape that they just didn't expect us to be as good as we were. That may have been, at particular points, as good as we've played offensively. We really, really played well.

If we're not playing defense and I call time out, I can tell you right now it's going to be X-rated. I'll go after some people or make some changes. It's not like this is the middle of the season and we can get it done next time. We're all here and it's a perilous journey. It's a wonderful journey, but the band plays on if you lose.
hurt playing team
What really hurt us a lot of times is another team playing well and us not playing so well.
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.

This weekend might be like root canal in the sense the way Seton Hall is playing right now. That's the first order of business.
