We won the league last year and didn't get to play in Oklahoma City.
attitude hard love missed weight workout
Every workout we've had D.J. has been there. He hasn't missed one thing. And he's been great. I love his attitude and his work ethic. He's working hard in the weight room, and he's working hard on the court.
bounce opportunity points situations three unfamiliar
We're three points away from being 2-0 in the league. But we're 0-2. Unfamiliar territory, but I look at situations like this as an opportunity to bounce back and do something unique.
The defenses they play, they play very well.

We had a couple of sand bags in the dike, but it's just embarrassing. I don't know what else to say.

When North Carolina won the national championship last year, they had a lot of two-year players. You get them at the front end or back end. It just depends on how you want to look at it.

When the game got tight, out of every timeout we would run something for Michael.

It is a little bit embarrassing to stand up here and be asked about NCAA violations, but you also have to realize we're human and we make mistakes. I made a mistake but we've corrected it and moved forward.

He's a unique player and he kind of does what we need.
