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.
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.
extra guys hold player running shut
I was disappointed in Aaron's involvement. I didn't see it. I'll need to look at the tape. If we need to do some extra running for Aaron, it's what we should do. Our guys don't need to do those kind of things. Just shut up, get hold of your own player and get out of there.
best board christmas easy good guys hardest maybe shooter sometime technique works wrote
He's got good technique and he works like crazy. I wrote on the board sometime maybe before Christmas two questions: 'Who do you guys think is the best shooter on the team?' and Who do you think works hardest at it?' It's a pretty easy deal.
bay green guys paper tops
We're on paper right now. Those guys in Green Bay are tops on the field.
guys none stop teams walk
If I ever have one of my teams quit, I will walk out of here and stop coaching. None of our guys are ever going to quit.
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.
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.
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.
