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.
good happens kid lying moment three whether
When you have a kid who's been with you for three years say that to you, whether it happens or not, at least for the moment you feel pretty pretty good. It's good to hear, even if he's lying to you.
players three top
Brandon Roy, in my opinion, is one of the top two or three players in the country.
came finish fourth game games last league means playing somebody surprise three tough tournament
We did it, but it's tough to get all the way through. It won't surprise me to see somebody playing a fourth game in four days, the league is like that this year. This was the most games that came down to last three minutes, at least our most in 10 years and yet we were 27-2, which means we were there to finish the deal. But in a one-game tournament anything can happen.
craig flow game guard three
I think Craig will play more. That was just a game where we got into a flow with the big three kids. ... We thought we were going to use more guard play.
bother degree fourth good kids semester three thrown
Out of 63 kids who had a fourth degree felony, three were thrown out of school, so the percentages were all in his favor. And he was thrown out for a semester for basketball. With that said, I didn't think he had a good game. I do think that things bother him.
beat decision gerry great happen hit last remember seconds shot three time
I can't remember the last time we were up three with 11 seconds to go and lost. We got beat by that shot by Gerry. Anything can happen in overtime. We made the decision of who would have the assignment. Gerry made a better play and hit a great 3.
college difference guys happened hard maybe minutes played providence seniors shake shot tenacity three took
I don't think we shot well (38.7 percent), but I think we played well and yet it took us 30 minutes to shake them, maybe 35 minutes to shake them. That's just by their tenacity and how hard they played. Providence has a young team. The three guys who I think played really well for us happened to be seniors and that makes a difference in college basketball.
act committed favor kids quite three thrown
Three out of 63 kids who committed the same act were thrown out of school. The percentage, quite frankly, was in his favor not to have it happen.
four good hour next three within
We know they run. We know they have three or four good players. Within the next hour or so, I think I'll know them a lot better.
create guard guy others players three wings
We aren't overrated, we are misconstrued. We've got three big players and two wings but only one guard (Williams). We have to be able to create for others and we only have one guy that can do it.
against days enthusiasm environment extra great home hostile means paid playing shot straight three week win worked
We worked on the 1-3-1 for three straight days this week and it paid off. It means a little something extra to go home with a win against such a great team. The enthusiasm of each shot is big when playing in such a hostile environment as we were today.
days paid straight three worked
We worked on the 1-3-1 for three straight days this week, and it paid off.
bank days handling happy hard last money passing running seen shots special star three work
I have to give a special star to Denham. With Rudy (Gay) out the last three days (groin), Denham has been our special player. I told him he's put money in the bank - all the work ethic, all the things he's doing, he's got some chits with me now. Just all over the place, running as hard as I've ever seen him, making shots that I didn't see him make before, handling better, passing better - I'm exceptionally happy with him.
