fantastic marvelous played points seven tells tyler type year
We feel fantastic about the win. We got contributions from a lot of people, particularly off the bench. I actually thought that Tyler could have played a lot better, and, then you look at the stats, and see 21 points and seven rebounds. That tells you the type of marvelous year he's having so far.
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.
basketball biggest certainly hate help impact losing opportunity prepared start year
I hate it for Damion because he was prepared to play this year and had an opportunity to help us, ... From a basketball perspective, it certainly has an impact on our frontcourt depth. We didn't have much to start with, and now we are losing our biggest low-post player.
anybody basketball college country defense impressive leads remember scoring shoot since somebody time year
I can't remember anybody in my time in college basketball averaging 27 or 28 a game. It's been a long time since I was in school. Every year there's somebody that leads the country in scoring averaging 27 or 28 a game, but his team's usually not very good. J.J. being able to do that and shoot the ball as effectively as he has with the other team's defense aimed at him is about as impressive as it can be.
attitude continue early greatest played tough year
I think the greatest thing has been his attitude to continue working. He bounced back from some tough times early this year and has really played well, and he's played well down the stretch.
believe brown certain college decide game great guy hoping illinois larry last monday nba people playing sharing shooting statement truly year
I really do believe Monday night's game will be great for college basketball. Larry Brown 's Pistons last year made a statement in the NBA about playing the game a certain way -- sharing the ball, being a team. .... I'm hoping the way we play, the way Illinois plays, that people will decide that truly is what's most important, not just one guy shooting or one guy high-flying around.
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.
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.
