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.
felt played shot today year zone
We played more zone today than we've played all year long. I felt like we had to try something, because they were making every shot they took.
felt home road supposed
Man, this is supposed to be our home stadium. This felt like a road game.
felt guy luckiest
I felt like the luckiest guy in the world.
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.
bunch confident country edge felt hope team win
We were a pretty confident bunch beforehand. I think I'm confident. I hope it's not over the edge of cockiness, but I told them I felt like we were the only team in this country that could come in here and win this game.
felt game impressive last night seen shooting team
Last night was about as impressive an opening-round game that I have ever seen a team play. I mean, I felt like they were shooting about 85 percent. They were guarding. They were doing everything.
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.
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.
