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.
attention basket glass good inside jump moves number pay post stepping
We need to keep him off the glass number one. He's stepping away from the basket and making jump shots, so we have to pay attention to that detail. When he does post up, he's got some pretty good inside moves as well.
certainly foul good latter stages
What are we, about 302nd? We're not very good at foul shooting, and we're going to concentrate on it a little more. We certainly need to improve, especially as we get into the latter stages of the season.
good separation
Defensively, we were just about as good as we could be. Offensively, when the separation occurred, it was because we did some things out of character.
beat character good looks open separation team three
Defensively, we were about as good as we can be. When the separation occurred, we did things that were out of character for us. We had three open looks we didn't make. We had to have those to beat a team like Texas.
damage good limit
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.
basketball chance game given good guys itself job looks opportunity presented stepped
He's just a good basketball player, and the opportunity presented itself and he's done a good job with his opportunity. All you want from your young guys when they're given that chance is to play their very best. It looks like he's really stepped his game up.
battle flow game good
It was a fractured game because of all the fouling. There's not a good flow to the game, but you have to battle through it some time.
critical early good guys job
It was critical for us. I thought our guys did a good job early on, but you know they are going to make a run.
coach good job minds struggling trying
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 credit good might
I think you might want to give Villanova credit for that, but we also had some pretty good looks, the ball just didn't go.
good
I thought they had some pretty good looks, and they just didn't go in the basket.
against game good road shots timely tough win
I think our shots were timely tonight. That's what you have to do to win a tough game like this on the road against a good team. You've got to be timely.
both fortunate good wins won
That's two real good wins for us, there's no question. We feel very fortunate to have won both games.
