confused defending great greatness national people represents
I think that because Connecticut represents national champions, people should not get confused about what Connecticut is. Connecticut is a national power. They have been defending national champions. What makes Connecticut great is because they represent such greatness and accomplishment. So (a win) would say a lot.
coming game grateful headache rather team tennessee took week
I'm so grateful to get that game over. I think the team would rather play Duke, Connecticut and Tennessee all back-to-back or in one week than Villanova. I took 600 milligrams of Motrin before the game and the headache is still coming through.
I went off. They were unforced turnovers, too.
athletic coach deem develop directors head high hiring list necessary needs proposing skills
I think there needs to be a heightened sensitivity of athletic directors who are doing the hiring process. I'm proposing to see if we could develop a list of what I deem to be the important necessary skills to be a head coach at a high level.
chickens cut excited far necks running settled wondered
I thought we were excited in the beginning, running around like chickens with our necks cut off. I feel we settled down, I just wondered how far we were going to go before we settled down.
above against aware doubt game history holds matter ranked shots win
I think Connecticut, if I'm not mistaken, is still ranked above us, aren't they? I think it's in all the polls. I'm not aware of us being ranked over Connecticut. The win we had against them didn't matter much. Connecticut still holds a long history over the Knights. One game for us isn't going to make us the big shots of the Big East. Connecticut will come in as the favorite, no doubt about it.
escape forgetting hard inches matter seconds start time win work year
I think it all comes down to fundamentals. This is not a time to start forgetting things. It will be a matter of inches and seconds that will win the championship. You work hard all year to get to this point, and you have to be able to sustain. You can only escape for so long.

basketball extra played selfish
I thought we sputtered and I thought we did not make the extra pass. We played selfish basketball today, and I thought we played not smart.
essence seemed
I thought Essence had a lot more points. She seemed more active.
came game nice somebody test
I feel much better, and I thought this was a real test. This was the first real test where somebody came that was legitimate, not going to back down, and demonstrated that they play the same game all the time. So, it was nice to see that.

I can't imagine him not coaching. I just can't imagine it. It really puts everything in perspective for me. I never saw that day coming.

West Virginia clearly wanted it more. They worked harder, and played with a great deal of heart and determination.
everybody feared last seem team week work zones
To date, yeah, we probably are. We've done a lot work on zones in the last week and a half, anticipating that everybody is going to play zone, but the team that we feared most was Marquette. I like zone a lot as a coach, but my team doesn't seem to like zones.
