couple games playing remember time win
I can remember a time when you were a No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3 (seed), the first couple of games you could win without playing well. I don't think you can do that anymore.
sharing wrong
I don't think there's anything wrong with sharing it.
bad fold fought four meant south start stretch talking three youngster
He's meant everything. He went through a stretch of three or four games, and everybody's talking bad about him. A lot of guys, when things start going south on them, they fold and give in. That youngster didn't do it, he fought back.

Her big thing was moving Dallas into the 21st century in terms of race relations and policies that affect housing and public service. She was an advocate for the people.
adjust ethic far freshmen gifted good hard kid last quicker treats wants work
You never know when your freshmen come in how hard they're going work, how they're going to adjust to bigger, quicker players. His work ethic was something I thought was really good and it's far surpassed even what I thought. He's a phenomenally gifted kid who wants to get better, who treats every play like the last and you don't find many freshmen who do it like that.
couple credit last liked seemed watched
It seemed like they scored on the last 10 possessions. Part of it is you always have to give credit to the other team. I like their club. I watched them a couple times last year. You have to give them credit. We didn't play as intelligently as we'd have liked to.
again answered game impressed second team time
It was a big time game for us to say the least. In the second half, I was more impressed with my team than any time I have been this year. We answered them again and again and again.
dreams kids
All of this is new to them. We have dreams and hopes. We're still going to have those. The kids are going to be wide-eyed, bushy-tailed for a little while.
cost win
If I don't fumble, we win the ballgame. I'm the one who cost us the ballgame. But we have to live with it now. This put something in us. We just have to win every week. This is business. This is real.
bring means opponent secure since tackle taught
If I get put in the same position, would I make the same tackle? ... Yes. I've been doing it since I was a little kid. It's a secure tackle. I do what I have to do. A tackle is a tackle. You've been taught to bring down an opponent by any means necessary.
guys none stop teams walk
If I ever have one of my teams quit, I will walk out of here and stop coaching. None of our guys are ever going to quit.
freshman kiss seen
If he was any better looking, I'd want to kiss him after every game. I've never seen a freshman more focused.
carolina crazy duke fans hear heard hope influence kinds maybe somebody stories wild work
I've heard some wild stories that Duke didn't like it because they were booed by our fans when they went down there (to Charlotte) to work out. Maybe somebody didn't like that. I don't know. I hope that's not the case. I would hope that would not influence the procedure. You hear all kinds of crazy things when Duke and Carolina are involved. I would hope that doesn't have anything to do with it.
freshmen games helped unit
The games -- I'd like to say it helped our freshmen -- but they're like a MASH unit now.
