They played really, really hard. I have confidence in our guys one through 10.
The last seven, eight games, Ryan is playing the best basketball of his career.
It's a testament to the character, toughness and heart of our players and their never-quit attitude.
It was another outstanding job defensively. In the second half, we did a much better job of getting to the line and getting fouled.
My heart sunk watching Steele even get a shot off.
It's hard to beat a team three times. They're improved.
This is his second broken nose of the year. He's got two broken noses and a broken leg going right now. Hopefully, he can stay healthy here the rest of the way.
He's an East Coast guy. Going to Manhattan would be a home run.
These guys are playing like they're on a mission.
They did a great job defensively. We got sped up.
You want to be playing your best basketball at the end of the season. But not only are we playing good, we're getting better. This is truly a team.
He's so gracious. Everybody is wanting to get close to him, touch him and get autographs. This is his program.
I wanted to be Jerry West. That was my dream as a little kid.
I recruit toughness. In other words, we're not going to recruit soft kids. It starts right there. I want guys that are tough. Mentally tough, physically tough. That's why we are where we are.
