hole seems
It always seems to be the hole in the dike.
asked both freshman proud stepped
I'm really proud of both of those guys. I have asked them to do a lot more than most freshman and they have stepped up in a big way.
kids recruiting spend time understand
Shooters are shooters. We've got to keep recruiting shooters and we've got to keep getting our kids to understand how much time they have to spend on their shot.
beat coach concept dumb impressed kids matter position puts talent
I'm very impressed with coach Baron. I've always been impressed with his concept of the game. He puts his kids in a position to win, no matter their talent or their depth. That's what they've done this year. They don't make dumb mistakes. If you beat them, you're going to have to play well.
media ready
I could tell right away before the first media timeout that we were ready to defend.

A year ago, we were struggling for survival. At least now, we can dream a little bigger.

Last year, we played 12 games that were decided in the last 90 seconds, and we lost 11 of 12. If we win a game when we're not playing well, it's a step in the right direction.
ability asked both confident few freshmen guess guys kids knew playing pleased proud surprised
I guess I'm one of the few guys not surprised they're playing the way they are. I knew that both kids were confident in their ability to play right away. We've asked them to do more than most freshmen are asked to do. I'm pleased and proud of the way they're playing.

Anthony's a gambler. Sometimes the play works. It's not a perfect science.

It doesn't have a life of its own. You guys can write about it. But it's been weird.
biggest flew happy mission season win
This was the biggest win of the season for us. I'm happy with our players. When we flew in here they had a mission about them and wanted to play well and they did not back down.
ears good gotten hoping past plan players totally
We'll keep our ears open, but nothing is pending. I really was hoping to get him. I don't have a plan B. That's not totally unusual. We've gotten good players in the past in the summer, but it's not ideal.
designed great player
Tommie didn't get a great shot. There's a great player that made a great play. It wasn't a great designed play. He just made it work.
became fan fun
Wow. From my vantage point, that was fun to watch. I became a fan there for a while. He was really spectacular.
