ball basket drive law
We just didn't want (Law) to drive the ball to the basket or get a foul.
playing team
We know in one game, one 40-minute game, anything can happen. Any team that's playing right now has got a chance.
capable shoot
You know they're probably going to shoot 25 threes, and they're capable of making more than half.
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.

I want to see us play better. We haven't played as well as we are capable of playing, but we have the attitude of trying to get better.

Once he got it going, we were playing off him, running him off screens anywhere we could. When they concentrate inside, he has enough confidence to get it going.
beat came desire doubt few glad guess next regular season since tournament using
I'm glad they said something like that. I'll be using that for the next few years. I guess we wanted it more during the regular season since we beat them and came into the tournament as the No. 1 seed. I don't doubt my players' desire one bit.
acted beat beaten looking team
I'm not going to take anything away from them because I thought they beat us in every way you could be beaten today. From looking at my team out there, I thought they acted like it was going to be (like the first game) again.
forced
I keep harping on turnovers. They forced some of those, some they didn't.
fought run virginia west
It was a gut-wrenching game. The way West Virginia fought to the end, I'd like to congratulate them on the way they run their program.
almost basketball capable care process relax
I want them to relax and almost have that kid-type attitude. I just want them to take care of the process and play the kind of basketball they're capable of playing.
four seven
It's not four out of seven or two out of three. It's a one-shot deal.
