basketball guys hard love saw second seemed team time tough
We saw a big-time basketball team play in a tough environment. Our guys in the second half, I love how hard we competed. ... It seemed like every time we'd get right there where I thought we could get over the hump, but we couldn't get a stop.
exact half opposite second
It was the most frustrating half I've ever coached. And about the exact opposite in the second half.
four half loved minutes miserable poise possibly second sheet win
It's a weird-looking stat sheet and how you can win with 25 turnovers. But I loved our guys' poise after the first four minutes of the second half. The first four minutes of the second half were about as miserable as it can possibly be.
came early four half held run second shots three
They (Miami) held their poise. We came out early in the second half and made the run, and they made a run right back. We contributed to that with three turnovers out of four possessions. I thought Hite, Diaz and Anthony (Harris) were sensational. They made shots - but they always make shots. It's nothing unusual.
anxious field four honestly monday performance repeat secondary took wants
Honestly those weren't my plays, but yeah, I took it upon myself to say that's my fault. I'm always anxious to get back on the field. The whole secondary wants to get back on the field and try to repeat the performance that we did Monday night, but for all four quarters.
challenged felt guys halftime hard job meant nearly needed saw second sweat worked
I challenged our guys at halftime because I saw no sweat on anybody's part. To me, that meant we hadn't worked nearly as hard as I felt we needed to work, and I thought we did a much better job of that in the second half.
beating believe best duke four ncaa strongly teams tech three tournament virginia year
I've said all year long that Virginia Tech is one of three or four best teams in the league. I really believe that, and I said that before they were a 45-footer away from beating Duke at Duke. ... I think they're an NCAA Tournament team at the end of the year, and I strongly believe that.
david double nobody power sean small team tyler worked
It would have worked out great. Nobody would have been able to double team Tyler because Sean would have killed them, and no would have been able to double team Sean because we would have Tyler. We would have two power forwards and been able to play David (Noel) at small forward.
alphabet call complex letter represents sound sounds tiny
Each letter of the alphabet represents a phoneme, a tiny sound that joins with other tiny sounds to make the more complex sounds we call words.
behind believe good tough
Quentin had a tough night, but I still believe in him and still believe that he's going to be able to do some good things for us. He's got to put that behind him.
carolina credit
Sometimes you've just got to give credit to the other team. It's not always 'North Carolina didn't do this' or 'North Carolina didn't do that.' Sometimes you just give credit to the other team, and I feel that way today.
experience pick rather talent
You'd rather have talent than anything. Experience would be second. If you could pick the best, it would be experience and talent. . . . I think that's what we have.
means outside says yard yards
There's more coaching. He says 2 yards outside the number, he means 2 yards. Not a yard and a half. That's different that what I'm used to.
bay carolina coming green julius peppers putting rookie saying wrong
You always want two quarterbacks. Not saying there's anything wrong with Dan, but putting a rookie in against, say, Chicago, Green Bay or Carolina with Julius Peppers coming around the end, you're going to think about it.
