We have been getting blown out in a lot of games because we have been getting so far behind. The last three we have had a chance to win which is a good sign. They needed that because they are trying.

Our best center by far is Jackie Butler.

He's the farthest thing from a point guard.
basketball care cares far georgia good tech tendency year
I don't think that's too far off base. Is this about basketball or life? If we do the right things and show improvement, I think those things have a tendency to take care of themselves. He only went to Georgia Tech for a year and that's an engineering school. . . . I think he cares about us winning, so that's a good thing.
advantage far finding good great inside job open size tempo
(The Hornets) just did a great job of controlling the tempo and finding the open people. We had far too many turnovers and when we had an advantage with size inside we just didn't do a good job.
advantages against athletic caught playing score team tried
We tried to score too fast. Against an athletic team like them, that's tough. I thought we had advantages if we could go inside, but we just got caught up playing their tempo.
caught guard quick steve strong
We just want ballplayers. I don't get caught up in positions. I think Steve is strong enough to guard twos and quick enough to guard ones.
ball caught guard quick steve strong
We just want ball players. I don't get caught up in positions. I think Steve is strong enough to guard 2s and quick enough to guard 1s.
chance stopping trouble
We just had trouble stopping them from scoring. I don't even think we had a chance to put them away.
advantage player team
What team wouldn't want to take advantage of a player like that?
people team
What's the criteria? Make your team better. Then look at the record, the people around them and then make a decision.
ball free gave hot missed throws turning
We missed some free throws that gave them a little life. We started turning the ball over. They (Indiana) got hot and we didn't have an answer.
best chance difficult figure since winning
We have to figure out the best chance we have of winning the game. That's been the most difficult thing since I've got here. It can't be about the individual. It has to be about the team.
