ahead best quite room team
The thing that I like about this team is that we still are a team that has a lot of room for improvement. We are getting better in all areas. We're not quite there yet. But our best basketball, I think, is ahead of us.
best opportunity special unique
I think this is a unique and special opportunity for us because we know that we're going to get their very best shot.
basketball best coach confused practice prepared process sure wake worry
I am so confused by this whole process that I think the best thing for me as a basketball coach to do is worry about the things I can control. And that's to make sure we get through today's practice and we're prepared for Wake Forest.
basketball best definitely earned handed hat league night teams top
I don't even know why we're having that discussion. I think we're definitely one of the best 64 teams in the country. We play in a league where every night you have to play your best basketball or you will get your hat handed to you. I think we've earned the right to be one of top 64 teams.

best definitely step teams tremendous
I think that we're definitely one of the (65) best teams in the country. It would be a tremendous step for our program.
best committee pick teams
If the committee is going to pick the 64 best teams, I think they're going to be hard-pressed to find 64 better teams that are more qualified.
character game hung team test
The team kind of hung together. This is the kind of game that will test your character and your togetherness and your spirit.
chance continue fragile jump proven start window
I've been around long enough to know how fragile it can be. We need to continue to get better. We haven't proven anything yet ? not enough to start relaxing. We've got a chance ? a window of opportunity. We've got to jump through it.
conversation hug love support
Sometimes you don't really know what to say because conversation sometimes makes it worse. You just have to give a person a hug and tell him you love him, you support him and be there for them.
few guys record reflect
At the end of day, the record won't reflect guys weren't available, someone was sick. At the end of the year, we need to have a few more Ws.
absolutely particular
At this particular point, I don't have absolutely any say in the criteria. That's already been determined, and me making any speculation right now would be just that - speculation.
