against anyone basketball fool good ran tonight
We are a good basketball team. Don't let anyone fool you, we can be as good as we want to be. Tonight we ran up against another good basketball team.
good passion tried year
When you have passion on the court, good things are going to happen. We have tried to play this year without passion and we just can't do it.
knew matured poised team whatever
We knew it wasn't going to be easy. But we've become a second-half team this year. I don't necessarily like it that way -- we don't like to have to come back. But we have matured enough to be poised and do whatever we have to do to come away with a win.
guy pounding side touching
Very tough, especially when you look on the opponent's side and you don't see Peyton (Manning) touching the ground. How much pounding can a guy take?
games later problem win
We'll win games so we won't have the problem later this year. It's understandable.
handled himself passes people remember tend time
When someone passes away like that, you tend to remember that person like a saint. He wasn't a saint. But he handled himself all the time like people around him were important to him all the time.
basketball early game guys half heart possessed second soul stepped
Brandon's the heart and soul of our basketball team. He was possessed early in the game but the guys stepped up well in the second half in his absence.
boost catalyst fred gain offense
We all know Fred is the catalyst of this offense and to see him get that gain up the middle, it's a big boost for the whole team.

There is nothing Kirby would not do for you. You were never able to pay him back.
exactly guys time
I don't have to say anything. You guys know. Now is the time to make plays. That's exactly what I do. That's why I'm here.
came guy introduced
My first recording, a guy came down to Philadelphia and heard me play and he introduced me to Alfred Lion.
aspect nba somebody stood training work
I'm all about getting training from somebody that used to work with NBA players. That aspect really stood out from the other schools, being able to have a person work with you that used to work in the NBA because that's where I want to go.
defensive good heart minutes offensive plays ran rest six south team tonight
We ran the same offensive and defensive plays in the first six minutes as the rest of the game. We just started to play South Lenoir basketball. Tonight was just a good team effort. We showed a lot of heart tonight.
people
People like the idea of the trio and so I did mostly trio.
