best college deep difficult felt great interest mike roots sure
Mike has accomplished so much at Duke, and his roots are so deep that I thought it would be difficult for him to leave. I'm sure he felt it was in the best interest for him and his family. I know it is great for college basketball.
difficult people toughest
You have to feel for Gary. He's one of the toughest people in the business, but they're going through some difficult times.

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.

difficult games opposed regular three win
(The regular season) is 16 games over two or three months, as opposed to three games over one weekend. It's more difficult to win the regular season.
coached difficult handle listening perhaps teammates
What I think now is that it allows them to get coached by listening to their teammates handle what perhaps could be difficult questions.
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.

chance far including kansas last lucky seen struggled
I've seen a lot of teams, including Kansas last year, go far after they struggled in their first games. You have to get by and get lucky sometimes. We have to play better Saturday. We have no hope, no chance if we don't play better Saturday.
rarely watched
I've rarely watched film of T.O. or Jerry,
impressive victory
It was about as impressive of an opening-round victory as I've seen.
amazing good guards guys heck leading though
I've never had that even though I've had two guards who've been the two leading scorers. I've always had other guys who can score. It's amazing what they've accomplished. They've had a heck of a good year.
ask believes charles coming crossing easily full good hitting running speed
The 'X' is usually the 'clear out' guy, ... Charles could easily jog, but he's hitting it full speed and running full speed coming back to the huddle. He doesn't ask for the ball. We've got a lot of crossing routes, but he doesn't say, 'Can I get an X cross?' I think he believes that good things come to those who wait.
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.
