inside people score took
They took (the three-point game) away from us by getting up in our shooters on the perimeter. We've got to score better inside when people play us that way.
great

access circle coaching dad gave great inside life question remember second
There's no question that what my Dad did gave me great access to the inside circle of UT basketball. I don't remember a second in my life when I thought of doing anything other than coaching basketball.
anybody bad coach duke game good players sitting talking tough
The thing I don't like is that they've got really good players and a really good coach. That's a bad combination for us. They'd be a tough game for Connecticut or Duke or anybody that would be sitting here talking about it. We're Belmont, so it's a tough game.
anywhere great looks near points score suspect
I don't suspect that we'll score anywhere near 80 points and I don't suspect we'll make a lot of 3s. I don't think we'll get a lot of great looks because I don't think they'll let us get a lot of great looks.
crushed dreamed gotten great known worried
If I'd have known how great this was, I would've really dreamed about it and worried about it and I'd have been crushed if we hadn't gotten here.
