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.
doubt hard last particular team wins
It would have been really hard to be 0-3 at this particular time, no doubt about it. They were tense. They wanted those last two wins and we didn't get them. But this team now, I think, will feel better about itself.
hit last seems steven
It's going to be a nagging thing. Steven had it some last year, too. He just seems to always get hit on the same place on his arm, like a magnet.
couple florida held last rough
It?s been a rough last couple of days. But we held strong. That?s an outstanding Florida team.
ability boards both grab last positives saw sean shots valuable
They both play really hard. Sean with his ability to make some shots is really valuable to us and Cyrus with his ability to grab some boards is valuable to us, too. Those are two positives I really saw last night.
damage last obviously team veterans
A lot of veterans back from an experienced team last year. Obviously I know when you have an experienced team like that what kind of damage they can do in the tournament.
carolina clearly final last north seeds separation surprise top year
Last year I thought there was clearly separation after North Carolina and Illinois. It wouldn't surprise me (if all the top seeds exited before the Final Four).
care charles expected friday game guys hill last practices ready respond saturday
Charles doesn't care if the game is physical. But some guys respond differently. I thought after our practices last Friday and Saturday that Hill and Townes were ready to play like All-Americans. That's what I expected to see Sunday, but it didn't happen.
good handling job tried
We tried to get after them defensively without Strawberry. McCray did a good job handling the pressure.

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?
continues knows support sure work
We will support him and he knows that. We will make sure that he continues to work hard.
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.
few identified late players
We identified a few players late and we really feel like we got the player we wanted.
