gone hardest
D.J. has been at every practice. He's our hardest worker. There's not a day gone by where we haven't called each other. He was the most important recruit.
crowd handle hard last played time
We couldn't have played any better for 34 minutes. We had the crowd out of the game. It's disappointing. This one is hard to handle because I thought we outplayed them for a long time and they outplayed us the last 6 minutes.
happy hard lose won
We were happy we won those games, but you could just tell that we didn't have our edge. When you lose your edge, it's hard to get back.
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.

This has been a frustrating season in a lot of ways. This is the first of my 12 teams that practiced harder than they played. Come game time, we didn't always play as hard as we should have.
hard stays team top
I think we're a top 10-type team. If this team stays healthy, we'll be hard to beat.
best both dealing decision entity facilitate hard help kids
I'm going to be really patient, and I want to help them. But I want them to make a decision that is best for them. And I just want to facilitate it. It's not a hard sell. It's these kids' lives. And that's more important than anything else we're dealing with. The most important entity here is these kids and their decision, and I'm dealing with it on both sides.
dice roll
We just had to roll the dice and keep Terrell in there.
boards extra gave happen kicked
We just gave them too many extra possessions. They kicked out butts on the boards and that doesn't happen very often.
best game knew lost shooting
We lost a one-point game and a two-point game without our best shooter. I knew when we got him back we'd be a lot better shooting team.
clock good shot sign
We had them at the end of the shot clock a lot tonight, but Jackson, he just made big plays. That's the sign of a good player.
great job running second
The second half, we did a great job of running our stuff. We had great movement, we set great screens.
