I don't want to play fat cops for the rest of my life.
I can't play anything until I find something that connects to my life, something I can carry as my secret map or code for the character.
I love things where I can be physical and I so love high stakes, and you usually don't get that unless you're doing a play or an action movie.
Pray . . . I'm going to start there. You've just got to compete. I guess if I had to wish for just one thing to occur with our guys, it's just that we compete . . . It's going to be a physically played basketball game; that's just the nature of how they play. We just have to bow our backs and be ready to respond to that.
Big-time players make big-time plays. It's that way in every sport. ... And that dunk came in traffic.
The team stepped up. Everybody played a big part, which makes it even more special.
The thing you learn from winning is how to win, and they are a very disciplined basketball team. I think if you look at the guys that make big plays for them, they are the guys who have been pretty consistent all season long.
We've got some guys who can make big plays and every game it's someone different. Tonight it was Brent Phillips. Before Phillips' big run we were looking to run the clock out before halftime and his run was huge. After that, we went for it and got a big score going into the half.
That's unacceptable and we came out in the second half with better effort and played team ball.
That's been a topic of discussion for the last couple of years. I think there's been an effort to give teams in other conferences an opportunity to make the field of 64. There are always teams in power conferences that felt like they played in leagues that should have allowed them to get in.
I think I'm playing too many guys. I need to find a rotation that will play physical in a physical league.
Most of the schools are pretty honest and will tell you they haven't watched the tape or they have and aren't prepared to offer. Sometimes they will tell you they're stocked at that position but they're looking at a kid as a defensive back, even if he hasn't played that position, because he's an athlete.
She came back today and played a real strong match. She got a little fatigued in the end. That match really could have gone either way.
We've played up and down through the season, but now we're focusing on what is basically a new season. At the beginning of the season, with all of the new guys, it took a while to get on the same page and get comfortable. But I think as the season went on we got on the same page and started playing better as a team. Lately, we've had a little more success as a team.
