I thought we started the game really strong. But Australia made a great adjustment in the second half, credit to them.
adjustment australia credit game gave great guys half playing second smaller strong
I thought we started the game really strong and were very focused, which is a credit to our guys playing at 10:30 in the morning. I thought Australia made a great adjustment in the second half by going to a smaller lineup which gave us trouble.
great longer plays virginia west
I thought we were prepared. I just give West Virginia a lot of credit. They made more intelligent plays and executed better longer in a great game.
further hard
I think they know how hard it's going to be to get any further than that.
benefit decision experience fully hard himself junior matter nba option player prove return support ultimately
I fully support Kyle's decision. He is working hard to prove himself as an NBA player and he also has the option to return for his junior year. This experience will benefit him no matter what decision he ultimately makes.
affect kid
For a kid who's a scorer and a shooter, that can really affect your psyche.
basketball decision difficult leave position prepared surprised thinking
It?s a chance. He understands that. When we recruited him, he never said that he wanted to leave early. I think he?s as surprised that he?s in this position and had to make a decision as anybody. And that?s what was so difficult for him. He was not prepared to make this decision during the basketball season. He was not even thinking about it.
calculated confident risk until
It's a calculated risk. We are confident we'll be able to do that, but it's still a risk. Until you get it back, it's never in the bag.
looks vision
It's his choice. He looks great. His vision is a lot better.
die shots tough
It's basketball, man. We live and die with that. When the tough shots are going in, I'm not complaining.
experiment
It's really been an experiment to this point. So far, it's been working out.
concepts country explain gets great mention players rest shows smart talk tv watch
It's amazing, I watch all the TV shows and I see them talk about all the great players in the country and they never mention him. He's so smart in everything. All the little concepts we tell him about, he gets it and can explain it on a player's level. That's what he does with the rest of the guys.
looked offensive sideline sitting
It looked ridiculous. Honestly, I am sitting on the sideline saying, 'We look like idiots.' Especially when they would go up and get an offensive rebound.
looked worse
It looked a lot worse than it was. It's going to be day-to-day.
