five great played
If we played great the first five minutes, it would have been easier.
good help hopefully league looks ncaa schedule shot strength teams tournament wins year
Historically, if you get to .500 in league play, you're in a pretty good position. Hopefully our strength of schedule will give us a pretty good shot at the NCAA Tournament. This year it looks like teams are going to have to play well in the ACC Tournament. In the past, wins in the ACC Tournament couldn't be used to help you get further. Now, you have to play well there to help your chances.
effort good overall
Hopefully, we can go from there. That was a very good effort overall for us. If we can play with that intensity, we'll be OK.
counting days next player
There are no off days for the next 16 games, counting Temple. It should be interesting. If you're a player or a coach, you like these next two months.
control difficult game good shots tempo
When they're on their game, they're very good because they play good defense, they can control the tempo of the game pretty well and when they make shots they're as difficult as anybody.
bring hang matter time tough win winning
We made some mistakes, but we were tough enough to hang in there. We got a big win to bring us back to 6-6 in the ACC. Winning is what you have to do this time of year. It doesn't matter how you do it or how it looks, but you have to win.
certainly college easier guys inside player stop three year
He was on his way. Player of the Year as a sophomore. He was certainly capable, but who knows? It's easier to stop an inside player because you can put three guys around him in college basketball.
last pushed
He got pushed around a little last year, ... I don't think he'll get pushed around this year.
basketball bottom built conference everybody feeding four good leagues six strong top wins
There is no bottom feeding in our league. Everybody is really strong from top to bottom. They are all good basketball programs, and you don't have that four to six wins built into conference play like some leagues do.
couple last plays regular teams three weeks
But we'll have to see how that plays out. I say that with the idea that there will be a couple of teams that play well these last three weeks of the regular season.
achieve ambitious chris ireland knows move northern regularly wants
Chris is very ambitious and he wants to play regularly for Northern Ireland and he knows he may have to move to achieve this.
guarantee minutes playing three weeks
I guarantee he couldn't have made that play three weeks ago. That's what playing a lot of minutes does for you.
caught couple five great minutes offensive played second standing
If we had played great the first five minutes (of the second half), I think it would have been a lot easier. We got caught standing around on a couple of (their) offensive rebounds.
benefit good guys position resolve seniors team year younger
What you have to try to do is put yourself in as good a position as you can put yourself into. Probably, we didn't get into a real good position this year with some of the things that happened. Hopefully, the younger guys on the team benefit from that and the seniors get a little different resolve as they leave.
