game guy hurt stay struggled throughout ways
We struggled with one guy making baskets throughout the game and yet we were able to stay in there. But (Duke) has so many ways to hurt you.
allowed bad check class coach dna games manners ought stuff team throw wish
I wish there were some way we could check the DNA on some of these SOBs that are allowed to come to games and show bad manners and throw stuff at Duke's team -- a class coach and a class team. Why is it that we find that all over the country, not only in college, but in pros? You ought to be able to check the DNA of an idiot, and do something about it, so you'll not be able to see it again.
approach coaches ended game positive season success trick win
You have to approach every game with a positive attitude. When we've had success in the tournament, we've always ended the season in a positive way. We need to win that first game to get over everything. Win that first game and then it's up to us as coaches to trick them after that.
game ugly win
Any game we win is an ugly win.
country course earned free game great per team throws
Of course they earned them. They make more free throws per game than any other team in the country attempts. That's because they're a great team.
certainly game greatest home honored invited playing
It certainly is just outstanding that we get a home game after all of these years of playing in the NIT, and we are honored that we are invited to participate in one of the greatest all-time traditional tournaments.
game hold lost match minutes seven six
For us to hold them in the 50s with six or seven minutes to go, that's good. We just couldn't match them in baskets. The game was lost early.
five forgetting game instead passing role seem talent team telescope
In all my years I've never had a team that's had this much talent in five players. But they seem to see a game out of a telescope instead of binoculars. They don't see the whole floor. They're penetrating when they should be passing. They're passing it when they should be penetrating. They're forgetting the role of every player, and that's to communicate with one another.
good team
We're not as good a team as Villanova. No way.
busy carrying league matter parity people point sell talking team
The point of the matter is that we have too many people who sell this league down. If this was the ACC or it was the Big Ten, we'd be busy talking about the parity of the league and not talking about one team carrying the day.
destroyed everybody gun ran
We ran into the rifleman. They put it all together, and they just destroyed us. Everybody had a gun but us.
body built hope playing schedule speaks tough work
Our body of work speaks for itself. I've always built a tough schedule that I hope has us playing better at the end of the year.
answers good players questions team
Our players on the outside, when they make baskets, it answers a lot of questions for us. When we don't make baskets, we're not a good team at all.
admit culprit felt
Look, I was the culprit here. I admit that. We felt this was the most constructive thing we could do.
