He doesn't want to talk about it. Nor do I.
biggest great overrated quite strengths talking team weakness
Our strengths were not our strengths today. We've been talking about the things we don't have. The things we do have were our biggest weakness today. We've never been overrated as a team. We've just been, quite frankly, misconstrued as a team at times. But we have great heart.
talking various
I think he?s that good. And from talking to enough various scouts, they feel the same way.
beat fear good greatest indicative league might ourselves records talking teams truly
Everybody's talking about how many teams we'll send. Let's see if we can get out of the league first. My greatest fear is that we might beat ourselves up so much that records won't be indicative of how truly good a team is.

This is my favorite time of the year. I love it. I just hope we come out and play the best basketball possible. Win and advance: that's all we think about. It's one game at a time. We don't talk at all about Indianapolis or Washington, D.C.
