It's weighing on a lot of peoples' minds up at Cornell. I know coach Donahue is struggling with it, but I think he's doing a good job of trying to go on.
ball basketball coming great knows
He has a great feel for the game. He knows where the ball is coming off the rim, and he has great hands.
challenge game matter
It'll be a pro-Texas crowd, but it's a challenge no matter where the game is played.
everybody game guys hard league princeton respect understand win
I think our guys are pretty bright. They understand how important the game is and how Princeton is playing. They respect everybody in this league and understand how hard it is to win the league.
biggest difficult
The part that really makes it difficult is that they're pretty good. That's the biggest thing.
academic appreciate bright good kids nobody obviously people playing students unless
We have obviously some very bright kids who can do some high-level academic work. But when it comes to playing basketball, nobody cares. Unless we do a good job, nobody's going to appreciate the kind of people that we are or the kind of students that we are.

We have to prepare that they are going to play the 50-point half on offense unless we guard them extremely well.

We have great respect for Aldridge, but we wish he was their only weapon.
allowing energy putting
We're putting a lot of energy into not allowing him to score.

We have a situation where we try to look at practice times that might fit for guys, who might have an hour on Tuesday or an hour on Wednesday. In that hour we may only get six or seven or eight guys.

Those are two good players, and if we can limit their damage that they do to us, we'll feel like we've done a good job.

When your opportunity comes, it's not what you do right as much as it's what you don't do wrong.
great liked won
We would have liked to have won more, but I thought we had great opportunities during those years.
afford boston cannot capable college except game gaps last lost period played round short texas tournament
When we lost to Boston College (85-65) in the first round of the tournament last year, we played right with them except for a seven- or eight-minute span. You cannot afford to have gaps in a game with Texas because they're capable of overwhelming you in a very short period of time.
