basketball coming five good people ranked six start team three top
Coming in, they were like us, a team that's up there. They start three seniors, and they are a good basketball team. If people thought they were just going to go away, you don't get ranked in the top five or six in the preseason if you don't have a good team.
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.
game good win
We have one game left. If we're good enough to win the league, we'll win it.
basketball good
I still think we should be a good basketball team.
both defense explode good teams
Both teams play good defense and I think that's why they are where they are right now. But both teams can explode offensively. Both can put up numbers.
ball good push quickly switch top transition
I told them that we were going to switch everything. And if they score, we've got to get the ball back out in transition as quickly as they can and push it right on top of them. We got as good a look as we could probably get.
game glimpse good team terrific
I told the team after the game they had a glimpse of how good we can be. We were terrific ... but we can still get better.
games good people plenty six teams
That's stupidity. We're six games in. That's just something for people to write about. There are plenty of good teams in this conference.
good guys playing win
I told our guys that if we're going to be a good team, we've got to find a way to win when we're not playing well. We did that tonight.
allow ask believe business chasing creep focused good handle outside stay ups week work
Ask me in a week or so and I'll tell you. I don't know. Sometimes I think I do, sometimes I'm not sure. I haven't thought about it much. I believe that if you work and you go about your business the way you need to every day, and if you keep focused and don't allow outside things to creep in and if you're chasing something and if you stay with it, handle the ups and downs, I think that some way, somehow, something good will happen.
basketball good playing time year
You're not playing this time of year if you're not a good basketball team.
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.
ball good job minutes played rotation smarter
I thought the first 20 minutes we were outstanding defensively. I thought we played smarter defensively, and I thought we did a good job of corralling to the ball and rotation was pretty good for the most part.
athletic create defensive effort good great maybe realize seen
I thought they were great defensively, maybe as good a defensive effort as I've seen this year. They really realize their athletic ability. They can create a lot of problems.
