basket defensive errors player protect teams thomas
When you have a player like Tyrus Thomas to roam around a basket and protect some defensive errors that you may make in the perimeter, it allows you to do some things that other teams may not be able to do.
basket blocking defensive gift guy player protect teams timing wonderful
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.
best duke early easy fight five job knew nice pressure seven team
We knew early on that Duke was going to try and pressure us, do what they do best and get in lanes. Our team was able to fight through that, and we scored some easy baskets on them. We did a nice job in the first five or seven minutes, and after that, they knew they would be in a contest.
against ball half mean nine patient points team time worked
We scored nine points and had 10 turnovers in the first half against a zone! When I tell the team to be patient I don't mean make 40 passes, just four. Every time we worked the ball around, we got it inside.
care execute good proud stretch team
I am really proud of what our team was able to do tonight. This was good for our team to execute down the stretch and take care of the ball.
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.
lost players plays several stepped team
(Ole Miss) just did everything that was necessary, but our team made plays down the stretch. When we lost the lead, I thought several players stepped up and did things well.
against coming good mill team tough
Old Mill is a very good team. We just went on these stretches where we couldn't score. It's tough to keep coming back from 10 down against a good team like that.
bad dominant environment nba ready team veteran worst
Secondly, Tyrus can't go to a bad team in the NBA and make that team better. That would be the worst environment for him. He's 19 years old and would have to go to a veteran team. He's not ready to go and be a dominant player, not emotionally or physically.
basketball beat college given good team tournament
I think on any given night, any good college basketball team can beat another one, particularly in a tournament situation.
early final graduate hit improved league leave ourselves people players proven talent teams took year
Our league took a hit from people early because we had so many players graduate and so many players leave early (for the NBA), but this was a league with a lot of young talent and with some outstanding coaches. Our league improved as the year went along, and with two teams in the Final Four, I think we've proven ourselves to be a lot better league than people thought we'd be.
letting loving players serious team wrong
I thought our team was being who it is, outgoing, fun, but loving and serious when they need to be. From some of the backgrounds that our players are from, there's nothing wrong with letting out the emotion.
casual game looking maybe ohio start state team
I thought our team was a little casual to start the game and didn't play with a lot of enthusiasm. Maybe they were looking back on the Ohio State game and anticipating what we're doing on Saturday.
best defensive effort team
That was the best defensive effort I've had a team play.
