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.
along ball bounce dribble remember rest somewhere stay talk
They just want to bounce the ball and dribble the ball, but I talk about things that are going to stay with them for the rest of their lives. Somewhere along the line, it will reverberate and they'll remember it.
asked came five last question since six talk
I don't want to talk about that at all. We've been asked that question for the last five or six years. I've been asked that question ever since I came to Temple. We'll talk about that some other time.

We tried to make them play faster. When you drive your car fast, you are going to get in more accidents.
floor guys learn maybe pay teach took win
We try to teach our kids. As much as I want to win a ballgame, I had two guys on the floor that I took off for that reason. Maybe they will learn a lesson. Maybe it will pay off for us later.
came hoping people possible pull reach stay terrible university
These youngsters came from not just a humble, but a terrible background. And this university made it possible to reach out and pull in people of that kind of background. That?s something that I came here for. And I?m hoping this university will stay its course.
league parity
There's so much parity in our league that they're all favorites. I think we're the underdogs. Put that out there.

Villanova could easily be No. 1 in the country. There's nobody that shoots the ball as those four players on the floor, not even Duke.
basket difference earlier floor increased manage minutes question respect team trying underneath
There's no question about the difference he makes when he's on the floor. He's increased his minutes on the floor from 10 to 15 minutes. We're always trying to manage his time, getting him to come back slowly. He makes a lot of difference when he's underneath the basket .The other team has to respect him being there. We just didn't have that in earlier games.
beat good ranked supposed trend
The trend is we don't have a good team. They're a ranked team. They're supposed to beat us.
good talent
I think our talent is as good as anybody's in the league.
I think he makes the difference. I don't know if it's a significant difference, but it's the difference.
believe suddenly surprise talent team tournament
When it suddenly happens, they're going to surprise some people. Believe me, there's some talent on that floor. They're going to get it done. By tournament time, this is not a team I want to play.
