break couple days game heart hungry job next sacrifices talked
We talked about how much the game hurt, but we don't want it to break their confidence. The next couple of days we have to find out how hungry we are. Are they going to make sacrifices and put their heart out there to get the job done?
defensive florida game good half held man pick second steven using
With Florida you have got to pick a poison. I thought in the second half by using man where there was more one-on-one coverage, Steven (Hill) really held his own. I thought he had a really good game on the defensive end.
game goes last prepared rough start three win
The start is a key. We have to be prepared for a rough game that goes down to the last two or three possessions and find a way to win it.
game ncaa win
I think if we can win a game like this, we should be in the NCAA Tournament. That should take us over the hump.
against game happens high kansas level maybe patriot player school
On film sometimes you say you are doing that in the Patriot League, but he also had 20 something against Kansas and a big game against Syracuse. He's a high level player that just happens to be at a school that maybe doesn't get that much recognition.
aware ball block free game knocked late mental mistakes throws
When you don?t block out on free throws and have the ball knocked away from you late in the game, it?s tough. You have to be aware of who is around you. We made too many mental mistakes late in the game to win.
game
For 39:30 we outplayed them and had the game in hand. It's a game that set us back.
game monster second spots tough
The No. 8-9 spots are not necessarily where you want to be. That is always a tough game because it's two even teams, and even if you win, then you play a monster (the No. 1 seed) in the second round.
duke game kid lottery minutes national playing plays single talking team time tv uniform
That kid, if his team is in first place or on national TV all the time -- or if he's playing with a Duke uniform on -- they're talking about this kid being a lottery pick. That kid does it all. He plays for 40 minutes every single game and doesn't take possessions off. That's special.
dallas excited fans game great played spot
Everybody's real excited about not only being in the tournament, but going to Dallas. I think it's a great spot for us to be in a lot of fans in the Dallas area. We've already played one game there.
basketball both coming continue game good helped job momentum protecting teams wins
It's an important, important game for both basketball teams. Both teams are coming off good wins that helped us both in a big way, and to continue that momentum for us would be real important. And protecting our home, obviously, is something we've done a good job at and we would like to continue to do so.
focused games hard minutes worry
It's just one of those games that it's hard to get out of your mind. More importantly, for 40 minutes we were focused on Auburn and we didn't worry about that.
early game home protecting win
It's early in the season. It's a very important game. I don't think the season's over if you don't win it. But it's a very important game to get, and protecting home is so important.
bit both everybody game great guard job pick seems
It's a big game for both teams. It seems to be that way for everybody in the conference. I like the way we're playing. We're doing a great job defensively, and being able to guard people. We've got to pick it up a little bit offensively.
