disrupted either fought game gone incredible offense team teams
No team has disrupted our half-court offense as much as Washington. It was an incredible game by two teams who fought with everything they had. I don't think either team could have gone another minute.
excited hope kids lose respect team time won
Any team that's won 20 games, we're going to have respect for. They have nothing to lose and a lot to gain. But you know what? We have a lot to gain, too. We're really excited about it. I like this time of year. I hope my kids like it as much as I do.

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.

I'd like to congratulate the St. John's team for a terrific effort.

I think our bracket looks, superficially, to me to be the toughest. That and Oakland look very, very tough. We got a fair but very difficult bracket. What it's got is teams that have been there before. And there's something to being there before.
depth played teams
A lot of teams play us in a grind, not in a wide-open game. That played to our depth and our experience.

Teams do get into ruts. (Other) teams do play defense.
