game improving month step took until
This was the first game in about a month where I don't feel like we took a step forward. We'd been improving every game up until today.
build five goes start took wiped
It goes without saying, we start all over, we start from scratch. It's unfortunate that what took five years to build was wiped away with one season.
physically took wake
I thought we were ready. Wake took it to us physically and we didn't respond.
air felt hit shots took
I felt like he hit some big shots that really took the air out of us.
air beyond feet knew players shots took
He made the shots that took the air out of us. Our players knew they had to be on him 10 feet beyond the 3-point line, but it didn't matter.
blended couple finishing guess morrow open three took
We executed well in stretches, but . . . we took a couple possessions off. It was finishing off the execution. Three times we had (Anthony) Morrow open in the corner. They didn't see him. I guess he blended in with the crowd.

We said if someone's going to beat us, let him be the guy. We didn't want him to be that wide open, but they have a lot of shooters.
air ball force job mario point touches west
We need to do a better job of getting the ball in his hands. That's something we did not do well in the Air Force game. It's something we made a point of today, especially with Mario West out, to try to get him more touches and more involved. I still think, actually, he can get some more shots.
coming defending game job knew line obviously
We knew coming into the game that defending the 3-point line was going to be a big part of our job and obviously we didn't do that very well.
impact lucky recruiting stay
You have to get lucky in recruiting and stay injury-free. There are just so many things that can impact your success, it can really be out of your control.
aspect basketball believe create decisions kids mature mistakes player represent school situation somebody team understand
Believe me, I understand the whole aspect that kids have to represent their team and their school and their family, but mistakes are going to be made. Because somebody is an 18-year-old basketball player doesn't create a situation where that person is going to make decisions that are any more mature than another 18-year-old.

The good ones understand that their role begins and ends with the scoreboard. The scoreboard will tell you if you've been successful or not. That's it.
