anybody energy incredibly obviously represent respect tremendous university
I don't know if there's anything he can't do. He can coach, he's obviously going to represent a university as well as anybody I know. He's a tremendous person. He's incredibly bright. He's got the respect of the kids. He can be, in his own way, very tough. He's got as much energy as anybody can have.
allowed beat good lewis thomas
That allowed Lewis and Thomas to do what they wanted. We got beat good in the post.
funny games given team tight
They've always been a team right on the edge. It's been a team that's given us very tight games at times. Other times, we've scored 123 points. It's been a funny series.
great involved mature matured situation
I think he?s become a lot more mature about a lot of different things. I think his life, because of the situation that he was involved with, has matured him a great deal.
hit tough
They made threes, Sheridan hit some tough baselines. I don't know what adjustments you'd like us to make for Allan Ray's 28-footers.
beat center civic last national plays providence regardless seems six team whatever
Regardless of our successes, failures, whatever it may be, it seems like Providence always plays us close. I think it's 3-3 over the last six games. Our national championship team (2004), they showed up at 12 o'clock at the (Hartford) Civic Center and beat us pretty good.
anybody hot missed played points
I don't think anybody I've ever had could get as hot as he can get. The other night, if we had played him 28, 29 minutes, he would've had over 40 points and I don't think he would've missed a 3-pointer.
anybody ask
I never ask anybody anything. I told him he better go out and be much more assertive. And he was magnificent.
kindness perhaps walk
Sometimes I'd like to see them with more swagger. Perhaps we'll walk out of here with that kind of swagger.
players three top
Brandon Roy, in my opinion, is one of the top two or three players in the country.
basketball best god guy playing roadblocks stayed thank winning
Denham is playing the best basketball of his life. This is the guy we had while winning the Maui Invitational. Denham had some roadblocks but thank God he stayed with it all season. But that's the story of this season. It's all about who can persevere.
control entirely fighting game kentucky kept sudden thrust
Sometimes you're thrust into a game that all of a sudden evolves entirely differently than all your game plans. I thought we could take control of this game, and Kentucky kept fighting back. And that was not in the game plan.
closer happen year
It's just going to happen because of the parity. It's getting closer and closer. Every year I maintain, you're going to see more upsets.
fact inspired ncaa scared teams
Some teams play loose, and better than what they have. They were never scared off by the NCAA Tournament; in fact they were inspired by it.
