happy playing team
I?m just not really happy about how our team is playing right now.
depth match missing played six starters
I just didn't think we could match up with their depth and athleticism. We're missing two starters from our lineup. We only played six kids, really, for most of the game. They played 11.
close committed evolved freshman game good improve needs screens shows tremendous uses work worked
The big thing about her is that she has a tremendous work ethic. If you look at her stats her freshman year, you can see how much her game has evolved and improved. She's worked on her range. It really shows how committed she has been to improve on her game. She's not even close to her potential. She's a really good shooter. She uses screens well, but she needs to improve her perimeter passing.
difference
That was a big difference in the game.
christmas committee hopefully ncaa open present santa selection waiting
It's like the build-up to Christmas, waiting to open the big present under the tree. You don't know what you're going to get. Hopefully the NCAA selection committee is like a whole big Santa Claus.
motivated
That really motivated her. In a way, it was disappointing.
analyzing baseball benefit careful companies company consider criteria dollars effective heroes millions people product promote spend stars using whatever
They just got to be careful in anything they do, because we, as Hispanics, consider them to be our heroes and our baseball stars. You just can't promote a product that will benefit a company without analyzing or having any criteria of the product. Because whatever you are promoting, people are going to take because of who you are. Again, not necessarily for the product, but because of you. That is why all these companies spend millions of dollars -- because they know how effective it is using stars to promote products.
against games last line lost percent players playing second shot teams tough type won
It's a tough way to lose. I told our players that games aren't won or lost in the last 30-40 seconds. We shot 50 percent from the free-throw line in the second half, and that's not going to get it done against the type of teams we're playing in this league.
whatever
They did whatever they wanted to do tonight. I'm disappointed. I'm embarrassed that we didn't have a better showing.
michigan opened played quality road schedule stretch strongest
This is probably the strongest schedule we ever played. We had that stretch with Carolina, DePaul and Michigan State, then played LSU and opened on the road at Pitt. So we've played some quality teams.
ask best coach great respect
Is it his best job? You'd have to ask him. I have great respect for him. I think he's the best coach in the country.
difference five last pittsburgh tonight
The difference between tonight and Pittsburgh was the last five minutes. We made plays, and we got some stops.
