proof
The proof is in when you look at him,
knew players previous similar state team tournament won
When we won in 1990 we had a similar set-up with most of our players back from the previous year. We had been to the state tournament before and when we got there again, we just weren't going to lose. We knew what we had to do. This team has that same kind of experience. They know what it's going to take.
defended foul free game good helped line press won
We won the game because we defended, our press helped us and we got to the foul line and made free throws. I think because we defended pretty good the whole game, we got to the foul line.
ball double hand men mitchell post run screen shoot stagger
We didn't have any timeouts, so we have a 45 set that we put Darrel Mitchell in a corner, and we hand him the ball and have our two post men (Davis and Thomas) go run and set a double stagger screen on him and just let him find a way to shoot it.
along ball critical far games good helped holds maybe moments shot shots timely
I've said all along that if our perimeter holds up, we're a pretty good team. So far our perimeter hasn't shot the ball as well as maybe we would have liked, but I think we've made some timely shots in critical moments of games that have helped our team.
avoid contact dire goes jersey practice sort team
He's sort of like the quarterback in practice with the no-contact jersey on. ... We know we've got to avoid contact with him because if he goes down, our whole team is in dire straights.
game key mix power
He's the key to our team's personality. His game is a mix of power and finesse.
experience hopefully ncaa schedule stretch tournament turn
Hopefully with the schedule we have, that will play off down the stretch and our experience in the NCAA Tournament will turn out differently.
course developed key team
He's probably the key to our personality of our team and how it developed over the course of the season.
dumb guy league moves
Home. Like these two guys, he wasn't ready. I told the guy from the Celtics if you keep making dumb moves like this you won't be in the league long.
freshman leader mature
He's very mature for a freshman and is a leader on this team. It's like he's not a freshman.
carrying effort fine job players team temple wonderful
Garrett Temple did a wonderful job, but our other players did a wonderful job of carrying out the plan. It was as fine an effort as I've ever had a team play.
last mitchell
I know Darrel Mitchell has something to prove. This is his last go-round.
certainly help hope
I hope so. They certainly help us play better.
