bench came continue flat fortunate foul free guards throws trouble
We are very fortunate to continue playing. (Virginia) made 24-of-29 free throws and those two guys, Singletary and Reynolds, made 24-of-26. We came out a little flat and our guards got in foul trouble early, so we had to use our bench extensively.
brighter came name
Greensboro's a first-round site? I had no idea. I couldn't name you another first-round site, and I'm a lot brighter now than I was when I came in because now I know one.
both came comfort whoever
As long as they're both right-handed, it's no difference. It's just my comfort zone. I'm comfortable with 3 (Harrington). That's who I came in with. Whoever is in there, we got to make it work.
build came defense great helps offense playing
That's a big steppingstone for us. It helps our confidence. Our defense is playing real well, and our offense came through when it had to. It's a great win. It's something we can build on.
came couple guys load needed plays rebounds stops
They were a load for us. They made plays when they had to make plays. Their guys came through. We needed a couple stops here, we needed a couple rebounds there.
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.
competing job second time
We keep competing all the time and I thought we did a much better job of that in the second half.

We flipped a coin in the end zone, I mean past the baseline, in a high school gym in Vegas.
ball bottom hold hope line mouth pray
You can hope and pray and hold your mouth different ways, but the bottom line is, you have to put the ball in the basket.
attention chairs coach five full likes onto pull
Every coach likes to have his team's full attention during timeouts. We get out there and the chairs are chained together, so you can't pull five chairs out onto the court.

Top to bottom, this is the most difficult I've ever been in. I believe we've got some seven to nine teams in this league that are in the top 64 in this country.

games team
We feel very fortunate, to say the least. First-round games are always difficult. If your team hasn't been through it, they have no idea how big it is.
