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.
east four maybe plateau since teams three
Maybe three or four years ago (eight wins) was the plateau and then maybe three or four years ago the Big East had some teams at 9-7 that didn't get in. Since then, I think there has been a little insecurity.
building maybe ncaa next process stage
It's been a building process and that's been maybe the next stage we had to get to, to get to the NCAA tournament. To be able to do that, that's an accomplishment.
bother guys maybe physical
They said (Georgia's physical play) didn't bother them, but maybe it did. We need those guys to play consistently.
degree finding good guy maybe terms time
I think it's a good time in terms of just finding ourselves. Maybe (getting) one more degree of each guy that can take us to another level.

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?

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.
contagious dug lost ourselves streak winning
It would be a big boost. We lost the first two and dug ourselves a hole. Winning is contagious. We want to get on a contagious winning streak as we go down the stretch.
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.
fine line played pleased road
I've been really pleased with actually how we've played as a whole on the road. Now, it's just that fine line of getting that big road victory.
