anyone damn floor god good hands nice quick remember run strong touch
He can run the floor as well as anyone I can remember for a big man. God just said, 'Here you go, you're 6-10.' His damn hands are like gloves. He's quick and strong and he can jump. And he's got a nice touch around the basket. I think he can become a very, very good low-post player.
control great point proven quickness tempo
In Earl, we get a proven point guard. He has great quickness and can control the tempo of the game.
athletic good instincts low quick thrilled
He's so athletic and so quick that he should be in the low post. He's got good instincts to play. ... I'm thrilled about him.
bob grew hard presence quickly time
Any time this has to happen, it's very hard on all of us. I grew very quickly into appreciating and being in Bob Weiss' presence every day.
biggest fits miss pace playing quicker reason
I think the biggest reason we miss him is the way we're playing now. We're playing a quicker pace and it fits him so well.
defensive finishing miss sets talked
I thought that we just couldn't keep them off the boards. We talked about finishing our defensive sets and we'd get them to miss and then they'd get the rebound.
changing good half practices
I thought under the circumstances of having only one and a half to two practices and changing systems, we were pretty good out there. Overall, I was really pleased.
boil concepts free improve line throw
I think (we can make a run). We have to improve the defense. The concepts are better but it's going to boil down to them. (Tonight) just can't happen. We can't let them go to the free throw line like that.
breakfast good happen impression length talked
I think there is a sense of relief. We talked at length at breakfast and I got the impression that it was going to happen and it was a good feeling. I have been working as if this thing was going to happen, but it's good to know it is done.
good
Just an all-around good win. One of our best.
credit deserves effort guy lots position ready supposed surprised
I think Damien Wilkins deserves lots and lots of credit for this one. I was a little surprised that he scored so many points, but I wasn't surprised in his effort or his defense. That's what a guy in his position is supposed to be ready to do.
goal ourselves position positive team
Our goal right now as a team is to put ourselves in position to do something positive with the season.
game guys hard kicking neither playing team teams took win
Our guys wanted to win the game because of the butt kicking we took in Houston. It wasn't a 'get back.' Neither team is going to the playoffs. It's just two teams playing hard but not playing for anything.
lost performance played
We played so much better and we played harder, but it's tough. It was a better performance but I'm disappointed that we lost the (darn) game.
