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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
customers disaster expect initially people
Initially we expect more inbound customers than outbound as people come back in and participate in disaster recovery.

attention basketball gets great nobody people
The attention that basketball gets here is incredible, and that's what you want. You want interest. You can have a great team, but if nobody cares, it doesn't do any good. I think there's positives, and some people will say there are negatives. But there also are a lot of positives.
basketball best fantastic performance
It was a fantastic performance for us. I think it was our best basketball of the year.
beaten people
They would have beaten y'all's butt, ... but they're not going to beat a lot of other people in our league.
defend easier four guy guys head run screaming standing time
I'm over there screaming my head off one time ... 'Move, move, move. It's easier to defend a guy when the other four guys are standing there stationary ... they can run in there and make it difficult.
again change might
I have no idea, and I'm being honest. I might even change the lineup again -- I don't know.
best credit early leaders positive score shots struggling thoughts tough trying youngster
I'm not trying to take credit for it. I'm just trying to put positive thoughts in kids' minds. David's a tough youngster and one of the best leaders I've been around. Making those shots early when we were struggling to score were really important to us.
