ability best guard hate hurts point pressure team waste
I hate to waste the ability of our point guard because he's the best pressure guard out there. It hurts our team if we don't have that pressure.
goes guard hard obviously work
Obviously Quincy went to work today. And when he goes to work, it's hard to guard him.
basketball knows player underrated work worry
He is the most underrated basketball player in the country, not just guard, but player. He doesn't worry about it, he knows he's still a work in progress.
decision knew program suited trying ways worry
I knew what his aspirations were and I had to make a decision in my mind: 'Do I worry about what his aspirations are or am I trying to make this program better?' And when I thought about the ways to make this program better, there was no better person suited for that position.
helped played
McNamara would have helped them, but I don't know how much. They played like a team.
five focus four intentions next
My intentions are to focus on the next four or five games.
bond handle means prepared special tough
I do have a special bond with (Webb) because he means so much to me. And I know for him it's tough (that I'm leaving). But we've prepared him to be a leader. He's able to handle these things much better.
dominated played shooting team time year
That's the first time we played this year that we dominated a team without Quincy shooting well.
guys happen needed understand won
Quincy called one and I told them we only had one and told them we needed one at the end. But those things happen I understand and we had no timeouts. I even told our guys if we had a time-out we would have won this game.
beat cincinnati games took
They whooped our butts, they took it from us. Games like Cincinnati and Villanova, those games we let get away from us. This one, they beat us, I can't say anything else.
based deserves fabulous gave recognized team top wonder
You wonder if it will all be based on if your team is in the top echelon of the league. I think they recognized that and gave him what he deserves because he's had a fabulous, fabulous year.
call kids monumental people playing
It was monumental if you want to call it that. It was something I think our kids wanted and a lot of people are going to say they're playing for me. No, they're playing for themselves.
anyone games memory won
Anyone could of won that game. That was one of those games that you're going to keep in memory for a long time.
credit game hard missing played point three trying
There's nothing to say. We played a game where we were down three starters. I give Quincy credit for trying to fight, but when you're missing your third- and fourth-leading scorers, it's hard to play like that. There was a point where we had three walk-ons on the court. It just makes it hard.
