extremely help hoping learned question
I was extremely frustrated, there's no question about that. I'm hoping we learned some things that will help us (today).
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.
extremely goes good half minutes played saying second
It goes without saying we're extremely happy. The first 12 minutes of the second half is about as good as we've played all year.
attitude battles extremely freshman freshmen great hard works
(Hansbrough) is very focused. He works extremely hard. He battles as hard as any freshman I have ever been around. Ever. ... You usually don't find freshmen with that kind of attitude and work ethic. That's a great quality.
coming extremely hardest trying
(Terry) is coming each and every day and working his butt off. He's trying to get better. He's extremely gifted, and the things he's trying to get better at are the hardest things.
efficient extremely smith
Smith was sensational. They're extremely efficient in their offense.
extremely hard history road wins
In the history of this league, road wins are extremely hard to come by. When you get one, you feel like you've really accomplished something.
concerned extremely frustrated head learned listen loved neck tonight vein whether
This is new for us, and I loved our toughness. As frustrated as I was ? and I was extremely frustrated tonight ? they've learned to listen to what I say and not be concerned with whether the vein in my neck or head is busting.
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.
We feel very fortunate, to say the least.
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.
