best five guys realize year
I think what we all see in (Florida) this year is an outstanding team. They really play off each other -- five guys double-figure (scoring), and for us it's a different kind of challenge. We realize we are getting everybody's best game.
came good guys happened intrigued kyle mike played players playing
If he and Mike came, we wouldn't be able to get Kyle (Lowry). If we didn't get Mike and got (Shakur), we probably could get Kyle. Players like playing with good players. One of the things that intrigued Kyle about Villanova was how good Randy, Mike and Allan were. When he came and played with them I think he was impressed. Sometimes some of these guys like being around other real good players and I think that's what happened in Kyle's case.
great intensity level minutes played start
I thought it was a great start for us and I thought that we played with great intensity for 40 minutes and everyone contributed at the level we want to play.
against game level tells tonight took
Tonight he took it to another level in a big game against an outstanding team. And that tells you a lot about Will Sheridan.
al initially looked prognosis vision worse
It looked a lot worse than it was. Al is going to be released. He has vision and it's going to be day-by-day prognosis now. But it's much, much better than we initially anticipated.
against anywhere college gerry home last loved magnitude means played player playing terms
I don't know what to expect. I don't think we've ever played anywhere against a player of this magnitude in terms of what he means to a program, in terms of what he means to college basketball. A player that's as loved as Gerry McNamara playing his last home game? I don't know if we'll ever do this again.
best minutes player
In the 45 minutes he was at practice, he was the best player on the floor.
happiness happy players strong teams
Look at the teams that get No. 1 seeds. They're always traditionally strong programs. I'm happy for all the Villanova players that we got that.
ask great worried
I feel great right now. I didn't ask if he could play. I was more worried about his future. And they said he's fine.
best gather handled impressed incredibly season sit wants
We will sit down when the season is over and we will gather all the information, and there is no one that wants what's best for him more than any of us. I have been incredibly impressed with the way he has handled this.
answer means questions
It means I won't have to answer questions from recruits.
against bigger gone people point seen start teams version
Most people are bigger than us, so they start that way and see how that goes. A lot of teams at some point have gone to their version of 'small' against us. We've seen both.
advantage great incredible instead job personnel taking worrying
He's done an incredible job. I think what he's done a great job of doing is utilizing his personnel instead of worrying about what they don't have, he's doing a great job of taking advantage of what they do have.
almost cherishes
His unselfishness is not an act. It's almost like he cherishes it.
