best came ford guard ivory men phil point practice sit talk watch
When Ivory first came in, I would have Ivory go and sit with Phil and watch our men practice and Phil Ford would talk to her about being a point guard. In my book, he's the best point guard there's ever been.

We just talked in the locker room that this is great. I congratulated them and asked if this is good enough. And they said, 'No.' They want to do bigger and better things. They're special kids, they have great chemistry and they have fun.

(Monday) Roy Williams called, and we talked for 35-40 minutes, maybe longer. He told me, 'I lost the Final Four five times before winning it.' He helped.

You have to deal with what's dealt to you. If we had made some foul shots, we wouldn't even be talking about (a loss).

We go up and down the court and try to make things exciting. We play the same no matter what team we are playing. It takes people out of their rhythm and flow of their offense.

We both have our scouting reports already done.

We're happy with the win against a very good Boston College team.
doubt far good ivory marion quick

duke early great lost maryland worthy
Yes, I think Maryland is worthy of that. You look at their losses, one to us, and two to Duke and early, early they lost to Tennessee. They're a great team.
