al doctor great looked report worse
We just got a report from the doctor at the hospital, and it is great news. It actually looked a lot worse than it was. Al is going to be released, and he has vision.
al both great guys job kyle
When both guys went with Al ... Kyle Lowry actually did a great job of offing to Allan and got it to (Sheridan). It was a great play by all three.
almost expect full
This could have been a very serious, almost catastrophic injury. They expect a full recovery.
adjust almost beat challenged east ferocious finesse level matched matter night physical physically playing prepared record style team teams
I think night in and night out the level of physical play you're going to be matched with will be something they'll have to adjust to. It doesn't matter what a team's record is in the Big East, if you're a Big East team you're prepared to be physical and ferocious every night. I don't know of any teams have a finesse style of play. It's almost like playing football, where you can physically get beat up. You're going to get physically challenged every night.
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.
advantage allen plays randy
That's the advantage of having seniors, we know that Randy and Allen are going to make those big plays when we need them.
allow decide false feels game national original plan reports
My original plan was to allow Curtis to come back, practice, see how he feels and decide game by game what he wanted to do. But this has become such a distraction to our team. There have been some national reports that, I just don't know where they're getting this information, and they're false ... so it's kind of sped up this process.
almost cherishes
His unselfishness is not an act. It's almost like he cherishes it.
crowd cut game home shocked
I thought this was a home game for us. When they cut it to seven, (the crowd noise) shocked me.
against attitude felt four hungry odds playing prove small tournament wanting
I think we kind of felt like the odds were against us all year, being small and playing with the four guards, and I think that's got to be the same attitude that we go into the tournament with. We have to go in hungry and wanting to prove ourselves.
deal home practice
I think being at home and being comfortable makes a big difference. Not having to find a place to practice . . . There's so many things to deal with logistically when you're traveling, that this just makes it better for us.
amazed basketball confident court summer
It has amazed me how confident he has become in his intellect. The first day on the basketball court here, he was not intimidated. But that summer going to class, he was. It was very obvious. He was scared.
answered beat deserve game good great
I think we beat them on a good night. They're great. They deserve to be No. 1. They answered everything we did, we answered what they did and that's what made a great game between two outstanding teams.
bit
I think we are a little bit more experienced, probably a little bit. We are very similar, but they are a lot different.
