I've got to find them more minutes and get them more involved. They are both tough - Sean with his ability to make shots and Cyrus with his ability to get rebounds.
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.
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.

He tends to be in the right place at the right time. That's a typical Vincent practice, but when you don't get minutes you sometimes don't get into a rhythm. But he knew we needed him today.
certainly chew minutes playing unless
I may not play him 35 minutes unless we need to. But I certainly am not going to let him take the day off. And I'm going to chew on him if he's not playing good.
defense hard minutes urgency
If he responds, great. If he doesn't, those minutes are going to be hard to get. We can't play defense without urgency and tough-mindedness.

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.
