against issue maybe might played videos zones
There are times when we have played so well against zones you would think that maybe we might need to issue some videos or something.
against best night players rebounds seems stepped teams
It's always interesting when we have our coaches' meetings, and it seems that we play so many teams that had to have their best night against us. We've been getting everyone's best shot. But I thought when we had to have the stops, when we had to get the rebounds and when had to make the baskets, or players stepped up.
against appears credit playing quality teams
It appears that we don't get very much credit for the quality of teams we are playing against in the ACC.
against caliber coming games good mode playing progress team teams
I think, overall, our team is making progress, but we have to get out of that mode where we're playing games against good caliber teams and coming up a little short.
against defensive deviate duke past played system

There used to be a time when you felt there was a conscious effort to get the top teams. Now, it seems to be much more political than it used to be. It appears we we're not getting much credit for the quality of teams we're playing in ACC. There's a formula out there that seems to be flawed.

I hope this was a sign of us growing up. We definitely needed this victory.

basketball fact fine game good graduation happy helped home last model move percent program proud rate
I'm very happy and proud for them because they've been model citizens. They keep our 100 percent graduation rate intact. But more than anything they're fine people. They're good basketball players, but I'm most proud of the fact that they have helped us move our program forward. Their last home game will be something to remember.
ball extra games gave lies nice patient shooting
