He's a role player on our team, but I think sometimes he limits his role more than he should.
happy hope looking losing love
It's not like they've been losing a lot, and we got after them. I love that. I was looking to see if we were going to be tentative or aggressive, and I was happy to see us being aggressive. I hope we see the same thing (today).
capable couple good great guys happier minutes playing running track
He's making his (3-point shots), making his pull-up shots, running the offense, playing good defense, playing a lot of minutes and playing with great energy. I couldn't be happier with the way he's playing. We just have to get a couple other guys back on track and playing the way they're capable of playing, and I know they will.

They hit a lot of tough shots. You've got to give them credit for making the shots they had to. I don't know if I've ever coached a game where a team shot 70 percent in the second half and we still won.

There haven't been a lot of easy games here over the years. They've always played well here.

You just think of all the players you've coached. You're happy for them and their success, and at least you've been doing something right.

I don't know about them, but I sure am. I'm out for revenge.

We weren't going to take any chances with him.

Wow, they are athletic, disciplined and well-coached. That's not a very good combination. They're obviously tested. If you can beat North Carolina one day and almost beat Duke the next, you're obviously very, very good.
