It's obvious he's been in pain. I've been worried all year just watching. I knew he was having a tough time.
plays
It's pretty simple. They made the plays they had to make. We didn't make the plays we had to make.
ball daniel game nights percent shoot shot
Daniel will be fine. There's going to be nights you're not going to shoot the ball well. We still shot 50 percent for the game and scored 90 points.
capable couple daniel demeanor game games gibson happy last proud throughout
Daniel Gibson 's demeanor throughout the whole game was good. What he's done the last couple games is what he's capable of. Everyone's happy and proud of him.
ball creating defense easy great handle job offense result
They do a great job of creating offense with their defense. Out front, if you don't handle the ball well, those turnovers usually result in easy baskets at the other end.
five free game good great job might night shooting throw worst
This might be the worst game he's had shooting 3s, but he did a great job at the free throw line. With those five assists, it was a real good night for him.
country guys sitting situations
This is one of the better situations in the country. I know this, there are a lot of guys who would like to be sitting in my chair.
game
This game is the most important game we've had to this point.
aggressive daniel plays question
There's no question when Daniel plays aggressive and plays to his abilities, we're at our best.
basketball good penn
There's no question. They're not going to take Penn lightly. They know better than that, and they know they're going to have to play good basketball to be successful.
babies baby build face slight teams
Teams may look at A.J.'s baby face and slight build and not take him seriously. Well, they won't anymore.
talk
I can't talk about it. I don't think it's official.
basketball court game guy obviously reason rivalry split win
I am obviously a better-looking guy than he is. If we play basketball he wasn't very good; but the reason he does all the loose-ball drills is because that's how he had to get on the court as a player. But if it got down to he and I playing, it won't be a rivalry. To have a rivalry you have got to split some games, and he would never win a game from me.
anybody carolina developed knew north
I don't think we had any idea we were getting what we got. I don't think anybody in North Carolina knew he'd be what he developed into.
