close early good guys scary seen talent watching year
He's done so much but you guys haven't seen anything yet. I see talent and I told him early in the year that he was going to be so good. I could see just by watching him practice. Some of the things he would do were amazing. The scary part is he doesn't even know how good he is yet. He's not even close to his potential.
best bring brought close family figured home knew program stay successful
He just brought a new focus, a new attitude. It was something I liked. I figured why not stay close to home and be close to my family and still be in the kind of program that I knew would be successful and would bring the best out of me?
anybody athletes closest compares full great last overall played team
I don't think anybody we played compares overall. Alabama, we just played last week, has a lot of great athletes. That's probably the closest thing to an overall team full of athletes as Memphis.
sink
I mean, it won't really sink in for a while.
controlled defense great green guard guys inside players point room supposed tempo
They have two great players down low, but the guys around them can also play. Brewer is great. Green controlled the tempo and did what a point guard is supposed to do. Humphrey stretches the defense so far. You can't get off him to help. So, those guys on the inside have a lot of room to work.

They left us relying on our dribble penetration and they either blocked shots or changed a lot of shots.

After that, we kind of got our focus. We made a conscious effort to be a great defensive team.

We just played terribly defensively in a rivalry game.
ball best interest matter people push score selling takes win winning worried
We just do what it takes to win and we're smart. If it's in our best interest to push the ball up the floor, that's what we do. We're not worried about selling tickets. When you're winning games, people come -- no matter what the score is.
beat order rebound spend time
We spend most of our time on defense. It started from day one. ... We're always going to be physical. We have to be because in order to beat a team, you have to rebound, and to rebound you have to be physical.

We're sitting here today with these hats on, these beautiful T-shirts, all that stuff. It doesn't matter what goes on in the game.
beautiful goes happier hats matter percent sitting today
It really was because we're sitting today with these hats on, these beautiful T-shirts, all that stuff. It doesn't matter what goes on in the game. Me personally, 1-for-9, 50 percent from the free-throw line. I couldn't be happier right now. I wouldn't have it any other way. That's all that matters.
