game great happen hitting playing pleased
I could see this playing out at the end (as a storybook McNamara ending) with the way he was hitting the threes but I didn't want it to happen at our expense. I was pleased that he had a great game and that we won.
basketball responsibility states united
We take the responsibility of representing United States basketball very seriously,
dirty four great guy keeps nobody talks work
He's always the one nobody talks about. Everyone talks about the four guards. Well if there's four guards, there's one other guy but we never talk about him. He does all the dirty work and he keeps a great attitude.
basketball battling dirty keeps
He's always doing the dirty work. He keeps battling and battling. Will Sheridan is everything that Villanova basketball is about.
anybody good remember unique
He's a unique player. I don't remember anybody like him that good defensively and offensively on the perimeter and in the post.
necessary weapon win
He just did what was necessary to win the game. And having that weapon is valuable.
agent difficult hire lottery might team thinking top
If some team told him they would take him in the first round, he might hire an agent and go. That's why I'm thinking it's so difficult for him. He's not a clear-cut lottery pick. If he was top 15, I'd make him go, I really would.
confidence gonna great
I always think we're gonna win. I have great confidence in these guys. I know they're gonna make plays.
biggest came challenge game high lead matter needed prior randy ready relax school special team until watch
He did that his whole high school career. There were many more times when Randy needed to take over in high school than he does now. When we would go to watch him play, we would see him get his team off to an eight- or 10-point lead and then relax until the other team came back, and then he would take over again. He did that his whole high school career. It?s been our biggest challenge with him, but it?s also what makes him such a special player. No matter what went on prior in the game, when the game is on the line, he?s ready to take over.
gerry shirts sons spent wearing weekend
I feel like we spent a weekend in Scranton. My sons were wearing Gerry McNamara shirts (but) not during the game.
circumstance given took understand
Given the circumstances, I understand why it took longer.
officers people police street walking
Getting on the bus, police officers know everybody. People walking down the street know all the players' names. It is fun, but it is a challenge.
area college great wife
I always wanted to be here. My wife went to Villanova. This is a great area for college basketball.
knew love
We knew it was coming. I love him. I told him after the game, he was great. He was a beast.
