difference dominated game kids
I thought our big kids dominated the game. The difference in the game was our power.
emotional jeff kid
Jeff is probably the most emotional kid we have. He's just really an emotional person and I think he operates on that.
home kids ran wait
Our kids couldn't wait to get home for Christmas. And they ran like it.
floor game kids league loose seems wars
We're a league of 16 now. It seems like the old wars of the '80s and '90s again. Every game comes down to 10 kids on the floor after loose balls, someone making a big play, someone getting a big rebound, someone making a stop.
bother degree fourth good kids semester three thrown
Out of 63 kids who had a fourth degree felony, three were thrown out of school, so the percentages were all in his favor. And he was thrown out for a semester for basketball. With that said, I didn't think he had a good game. I do think that things bother him.
best defend game good guess guy judgment kids lost playing three
There are kids who score, kids who rebound; there are kids who pass, kids who defend and kids who have a feel for the game. He has all those attributes. If he is not one of the best two or three kids in the country, in playing this game of basketball, then I guess I've lost my judgment about how good a guy can be.
good happens kid lying moment three whether
When you have a kid who's been with you for three years say that to you, whether it happens or not, at least for the moment you feel pretty pretty good. It's good to hear, even if he's lying to you.
act committed favor kids quite three thrown
Three out of 63 kids who committed the same act were thrown out of school. The percentage, quite frankly, was in his favor not to have it happen.
against deserving happy incredibly kids
We're incredibly happy to be a No. 1 seed. We were 13-3 against top-50 competition. We were 7-2 against top-25 competition. These kids are deserving of a No. 1 seed.
ben butler gets happen kid looks move starting validation
From Caron Butler - and there's no validation this automatically has to happen - to Ben Gordon, it looks like Rudy is starting to make the move to where we think he can be. He is going to get there, there's no question. It's just that every kid gets there at different times.
civic half kids matched playing pride quite scoreboard second won
I don't want our kids playing the scoreboard because, quite frankly, we won't always be here at the Civic Center. In the second half we matched baskets and we won by five. I don't think we should do that. We should take more pride in what we're doing.
days east game kids regular season win
For us to tell our kids that this is just a regular season game ... we've always set goals, to try to win the Big East championship. To back away from that a day before or two days before the game would be foolhardy.
allowed believer dumb great kid people second selfish terrific
He's a terrific kid who made a dumb, dumb selfish mistake. He's not the first and he won't be the last, unfortunately. Hopefully, it's not going to be on my watch. I'm a great believer that people should be allowed and are allowed a second chance.
certainly crowd kids sure team
We just have to be hungry...and this team has done that. The crowd will certainly be into it (today) and I'm sure the kids will be into it.
