addition ball shooting trying year
(His) play is on the rise. He's doing things now -- in addition to shooting the ball -- that we've been trying to get him to do for a year and a half.
college guess low michigan points score stop style styles wants whether
I think we know how Michigan wants to play style-wise, but can we stop them - I don't know. In college basketball, it is always about style and how styles contrast. My guess is that it is going to be low scoring. We are not going to give up a lot of points. Whether we score enough points to win, I don't know.
against coaches game given great playing speaks tonight truly volumes win
We couldn't play any better tonight than we played. You can always do something better, but given it's a championship-level game against truly one of the great coaches and he's playing in his hometown, to be able to win that game speaks volumes about our team.

We've had great efforts that has not been a problem. Finishing games has been. We finished tonight.
above certainly deserves involved last memory obstacles overcame proud remain team week
Our team overcame more obstacles last week than any team in my memory that I've been involved with. To have our team remain above all that and play as well as they did and win, I think our team deserves a lot of credit. They certainly have every right to be proud of what they have accomplished up to date.
hard knew matter opening past practiced ready start starting today
Renaldo knew going into today that he wasn't going to start but when the opening came, he was ready. He was ready because he practiced hard the past two days. Starting or not starting doesn't matter to Renaldo. He was ready regardless.

That confirmed what I thought might happen. They were much more physical. Somewhere along the way we were going to be exposed. I was hoping it would be a little bit later (in the season).

It doesn't look like it, but I think I've got one more week left in me. What a week that was, no question.

When we've played well, he's done well. But some times he gets in there and gets tied up.
games proud themselves three total turned wins
Three games going now we've turned it over a total of 22 times. As much as anything other than the wins themselves I'm very proud of that.
bench difference guy lurks trouble
We're really right where we were at most of the year. The difference being, when trouble comes, and it will, we don't have a bench to go to if the trouble lurks in the post. We don't have a big guy to go to.
played stood
We stood up to the challenge. We played very well. We did not play well enough to win.
excited opportunity special
We make no apologies about being here. We look at it as a special opportunity and we're excited about it.
catching great guys win
We're probably not catching them at a great time, but our guys want to win too.
