To see Jackie, Jawad, and Melvin...they were hugging and saying a prayer...and they allowed me to join them - that was the greatest moment you can possibly have.
death great honest played purpose saying scared win
They played with great purpose and passion. I was scared to death of them, to be honest with you. In saying that, I still thought we were going to win the game.
jump next saying strides
They're a top-ranked defense, but they didn't show it today. I'm not saying that they're not very good, but they just didn't show it today. We had our way with them from the first jump to the end of the whistle. ... We made some strides for next year.
looking mind saying
We were searching, and I don't mind saying it. We were looking for something. I don't think you can keep doing the same thing over and over and over.

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.

They would have beaten y'all's butt, ... but they're not going to beat a lot of other people in our league.

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.

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.
carolina crazy duke fans hear heard hope influence kinds maybe somebody stories wild work
I've heard some wild stories that Duke didn't like it because they were booed by our fans when they went down there (to Charlotte) to work out. Maybe somebody didn't like that. I don't know. I hope that's not the case. I would hope that would not influence the procedure. You hear all kinds of crazy things when Duke and Carolina are involved. I would hope that doesn't have anything to do with it.
