minutes team
The first 10, 15, 18 minutes we were really special, the kind of team I know we can be. I actually think we're getting better.
four happen left marshall minutes tonight
Donyell Marshall was here tonight and he left with four minutes to go. That should never happen in a Connecticut game.
armstrong changed due hilton maybe minutes shake took
It took us 30 minutes to shake them. Maybe 35 minutes, and that's due to their tenacity. Hilton Armstrong changed everything in the middle.
five guy minutes saw
I saw him five minutes and said a guy who at 6-foot-10, only 190, is that quick, we've got to take a look at him.
minutes waited worth
I told Rashad he only waited 38 minutes for that three. It was worth the wait.
minutes takes took
Normally, it takes us about 10 minutes to get into the game. Today, it took us 25.
basketball blocked game good indiana matter minutes moments playing proud ran team
I think Indiana is a very good basketball team. I just think there were moments and minutes in that game where we were pretty special. It didn't matter who we were playing because we blocked everything, we ran out and we made good decisions. I'm very proud of my basketball team today.
college difference guys happened hard maybe minutes played providence seniors shake shot tenacity three took
I don't think we shot well (38.7 percent), but I think we played well and yet it took us 30 minutes to shake them, maybe 35 minutes to shake them. That's just by their tenacity and how hard they played. Providence has a young team. The three guys who I think played really well for us happened to be seniors and that makes a difference in college basketball.
east games good lesson minutes regular season
Over 16 Big East regular season games, we were good. Over 29 games this season, we were good. But every game you have to show up. Today's 40 minutes are the most important 40 minutes. Our Big East season is over. Hopefully, this is a good lesson for us.
asked beat coming game good indication looked minutes writers
A lot of beat writers asked the question, 'Do you think you looked by this game with the Villanova game coming up?'. We didn't. We didn't look by it. The first 25 minutes was a pretty good indication of that.
beat beaten both cares minutes playing point record saw seed syracuse team today whether
I think we showed up like a team that had glanced at our record and saw we had beaten Syracuse handily both times. My point is that in a tournament, no one really cares what seed you are or whether you beat someone before. It's the 40 minutes you're playing today that's important.
coming game god minutes next played score thank
Coming off a Villanova game where he played 13 minutes and didn't score a point, I started him the next game to tell him we've got to get him back. For us to win, we've got to get him back. ... Thank God we got them back.
basketball last minutes
Albany was magnificent for 30 minutes. We were equally, if not better or more magnificent, the last 10 minutes of the basketball game.
blamed game mistake turned worst
It was the worst mistake he ever made. That was the game we were down by 25 and I turned to him every play and blamed him on it.
