incredible player question
Something could have happened. I thought the player in question showed incredible restraint. I don't know how I would have reacted under the same circumstances.
consistent good nice player year
Shan is an outstanding player. He's had a very good year for us. He's been a pretty consistent player for us, which is a nice thing to be called when you're only a sophomore.
balance best league looking players skilled teams terrific
Most teams in this league have a terrific balance when it comes to players that are skilled and athletic. We're looking for the best balance we can find.
great last lost people pick players seem seems surprised
It's the same every year. People want to seem to pick (SEC) to be down, but it never really seems like we are. We lost some great players last year, but I think year-after-year you're going to have great players in this league. I'm not surprised in the least.
anyone defensive good inside line looked offensive players quirky
We had a very good defensive stand. We didn't want anyone to be open. We were not to go inside the three-point line. It looked quirky with all the offensive players inside the line and all the defensive players outside.
break good happen players
Hopefully, we can break through. Our players have got to find a way. They need something good to happen for themselves.
people pick seems surprised
I'm not surprised at all. Some people want to pick us to be down, but it never seems like we are.
against character great guys lesser panicked proud
It was a great game, obviously. I'm proud of our players. Guys with lesser character would have been too down to show up to play or would have panicked when things were going against us.
came chance either fact good leading less needed nowhere offense order win
It kind of came down to the fact our leading scorer was nowhere what we needed him to be in order to give us a chance to win on either end. He wasn't very good on offense and he was less than that on defense, unfortunately.
asks mario
That's completely ludicrous. That's completely nonsensical. If Mario has a question, he asks me. If I have a question, I ask him. That's absurd.
ball good taking
They were up on him and he was just taking the ball to the basket. He's just a really good player.
chance felt good hard high recruit tried virginia
We tried very hard to recruit Derrick out of high school. We actually thought we would be right there and have a chance to get him. Virginia got him, but we felt like he was a very good player.
basketball carolina last needed played solid south team three win
We got a much needed win at South Carolina on Saturday. I like how our team is playing. We feel like we've played solid basketball over the last two or three weeks.
extremely grateful life means mike playing prognosis rest saved truly
While we are extremely disappointed that this means the end of Davis' playing career, we're very grateful that the prognosis for the rest of his life is good. Mike Meyer is truly a hero. He single-handedly saved the life of Davis.
