beat behind far gets guard kevin line run sea thinking
They run out there behind that three-point line and it's kind of like a sea to them. Kevin doesn't guard three-point shooters . . . In the back of Kevin's mind, when he gets that far out, the first thing he's thinking about is getting beat off the dribble.
gains gets good gotten great maturity player
As he's gotten healthy, he's gotten better and better. He's got a great feel for the game. He can do a lot more things than he's doing right now. As he gets older, gains maturity in this program, he's going to be a really good player in this league.

The strength of the team is up front now. But we don't have a guy who you know can give you points when the going gets tough.
gets goes hear kid tough

area chance comforting felt second shoot third
We felt like if there was an area we could dominate, it would be the boards. It's comforting to know we don't have to shoot well and we have a chance to make second and third shots.

We're good at the guard position, but I don't think you can have two point guards. I think you need one. We've got to figure out who we're going to play there.
attribute good great kids playing win
We're playing good enough to win, and that's a great attribute to have. Our kids know how to win games.
behind patient people recruiting scenes work
Recruiting is not something you can rush. You have to be patient with it. At the same time, you have to work behind the scenes with the coaches. Those are the people I want to get to know the best.
active difference gibson good impressed team texas
I think Texas is good, but I don't think there's a lot of difference between the two teams. I thought Gibson was a lot more active today. Texas was good today, but I was more disappointed in our team than I was impressed with Texas.

I thought he played like a veteran. His play is so important for us. He makes all these guys better.

I think this is going to be a fun team to watch. I'm really looking forward to getting started.

That call could have could have went either way. Sometimes you've just got to have a break.

That would probably help. I think P.J. is probably going to class now.
breaking game good kept telling
That was an important game for a lot of reasons. I kept telling (Everett) that he was one good game away from breaking out.
