bit chest difference good saw somebody stepped teams
Somebody else stepped up for them and good teams do that. I thought I saw his chest swell a little bit after the first one. He was the difference in the game.
dentistry
That's probably how dentistry was in the 1800s, before they had anesthetics. That's how I felt.
couple kids last school
Our kids represented our school the right way. We just did not have it in us through the last couple possessions.

Shooting percentages can be misleading. Their steals led directly to baskets. I think they've done that all year. They're terrific open-court players.
conference east game intensity kids league question seems took tournament
I will tell you without any question that every league game I've been in part of in the Big East seems like a conference tournament game. There's an intensity and urgency. It took a while for our kids to get used to.

They're a team of basketball players. They're not a team of positions. But they create problems you're not going to see the rest of the year.

Sammy to me is a guy who has to be healthy to play well. I'd rather come down on the side of safety.
beaten good lost start today
We've been beaten this year, but I didn't think we lost any of those games, but we lost today. It was important for us to get off to a good start today but we didn't do it.
