contest duke few five good guys handling heels job knew minutes nice seven tone work
We did a nice job of handling the first five to seven minutes of the game. We told our guys Duke was going to come out in those first few minutes and try to get us on our heels and that if we could work through that we'd be in good shape. That's what happened. A tone was set and I think they knew they were in for a contest all night.
beat guy
That was our plan. If one guy was going to beat us, he was the guy.
board create easy eliminate game guys jump sure telling trying watching
I'm sure Billy's telling his guys and they're watching tape, (saying) 'If you're not careful, LSU will board you and jump over you and jump over you and get easy baskets. I'm sure they're trying to eliminate those opportunities as we're trying to create more of them in that game Saturday.

You know, everybody gets fortunate in their lives, and this is a great moment for me personally, but it's also a great moment for a bunch of guys who really deserve it, how hard they worked. This is a special team. Youth marches on.
ball certainly compliments confident execution guys nice pay quite rest shot team three tonight
Certainly our team has a nice confident way about it right now. The execution we showed tonight and the way we shot the ball and rebounded the ball was quite good. I can't pay enough compliments to these three guys here and the rest of our team.

When you have a player like Tyrus, a guy who can just roam around a basket and protect you from defensive mistakes, it allows you to do things other teams can't. He has a wonderful gift for timing when blocking shots.
consistent game good guys mitchell night player question valuable
Darrel Mitchell is without question the most valuable player in the SEC in my opinion. He is the most consistent player. Other guys may have had better games, but he has good game and after good game and has not had an off night yet.
ball double guys high run stayed
They stayed with the double team. A lot of guys hedge him high and then run back. They stayed with it and made him give the ball up.
ability bigger execution guard guy mitchell needed ourselves physical rhythm seemed struggling
I think the ability of Felix to guard Darrel Mitchell as he did -- a bigger guy, a physical guy on Darrel -- we never really got ourselves in a rhythm on offense. It seemed like to me we were always struggling on offense. For the most part, our execution wasn't where it needed to be.
block confidence defense flash gives great guy lane needs
He's got great timing. Sometimes he needs to be more disciplined because if you flash your eyelids he's going to get up off the floor. But it gives your perimeter defense a lot of confidence when you have a guy back there in the lane that can block it at any time.
excited gets guy says verbal
He never says much. He's not a guy that gets real excited or real verbal and I think that may be why he gets disrespected.

I'm the luckiest guy in the world to coach a group of guys like this.

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.
