blowing carolina game james madison north understand won
They understand the competitiveness you have to have. I told them that, in 1982, North Carolina won the championship and we won the first game by blowing out James Madison 52-50.
ball came punched won
It shouldn't have came down to the officials. We should have punched that ball in and should have won this game.
absolutely ride wonderful
It's been an absolutely wonderful ride with my team.
continues david easier played
David (Noel) played great, and he continues to play well. It makes it so much easier on everyone else.
case defensive extremely felt five game good hard last needed negative player playing three
Then the other thing is that Wes has been playing so hard. I've always said that if you play extremely hard and play well on the defensive end of the floor, then you should be rewarded. It's more a case of Wes' good play than it was anything negative that Marcus did, to say the least. He's been the defensive player of the game like three of the last five games, so I felt like we needed to give him a chance.
bucks pay
They pay us the big bucks to make the big plays. That's what we've got to do.
league played since start
They got off to a little blip going 0-3 to start league play. Since then they have played about as well as anybody.

You don't want to give him no space to move around. He's got quick feet and great vision. I respect him a lot, but I don't fear him.
biggest five four though three
This could go on three or four or five weeks. I only had to put up with it for one week, even though it was on the biggest stage.
lately nice played playing
Q's been playing much better lately and I told him he's got to play. I thought Q did some nice things for us. I think he really has played much better.

Other agencies are going through this same situation,
brick drop fall possible
There's no possible way you're going to drop a brick and have it fall on your toe. You're going to look at that brick all the way in. I think it's helped.
guard
Defensively, he couldn't guard his freaking lunch. He was bad. He was just awful.
bad best call chance foul given guy hurts job score team tied wrong
I called for a press, but we did a bad job with it and it was the wrong call on my part. We go down and foul a guy and we are never able to get the score tied after that. It hurts when you feel like you've not given your team the best chance to win.
