breakdown good happy mark second stopped
I was happy with some of the spurts we had. I thought we did some good things defensively in the second half. There was just that breakdown around the 6- or 7-minute mark where we let them make some plays, and we stopped playing.
asked blocked blocks defended defending easy far four grabbed half himself means point proud rodney run second shots shows
I was so proud of Rodney Carney today. It would be so easy for Rodney to play for himself right now. It would easy for him to just go out and do it himself. I grabbed Rodney and said 'you are defending and we will try to give you some shots. Rodney said I am fine. At one point in the second half I asked if you want me to run something to get you going and he said I am fine. He defended and blocked shots today. Four blocks shows how far he has come and what he means to the team.
graduates record second women
I second the motion. His record is spotless. He graduates every kid. He doesn't look at other women. He doesn't smoke.
couple effort good intensity level pleased prepared saw second
The thing I'm most pleased with was I thought you saw an intensity level and an effort level that we haven't had for a couple of weeks. Second of all, there were things we prepared to do, and we executed them. ... It was some good stuff.
decision kids season second
During the season, every decision I make will be about the team. The second that season is over, it is all about the kids on the team.
good second stars three
We really guarded. We rebounded in the second half, and my stars were stars, all three of them. We rebounded and my three stars were stars. We're pretty good what that happens.
half missed near second
The first half we missed 14 two-footers. At some point, we've got to make those shots. In the second half we made them, but you've got to make the ones that are near the basket. You can't miss them all.
chance instead lose move played playing second won
For a while there in the second half, we played not to lose instead of playing to win. We had a chance to lose the game, but we won it, and we will move on.
defended free kick please
I think we defended pretty well. We just couldn't make a basket. Please make a basket, make a free throw, anything. Kick one in.
defense dreaded played work zone
I thought our defense was good, and then I played the dreaded zone for a while which I think everybody's like 'Wow'. But we have a zone and we work on it. I just don't use it that much.
ball deny game great guys pressure ready start wings
I think what we are going to do is go great ball pressure and deny wings to start the game because I want to know who is not ready to play. We had guys start this game like we don't have to play. Like they were going through the motions.
actions allow chance continue gone jeremy ongoing university
I think the university and I have gone out of our way to give Jeremy every chance to be a part of this program, but we can not allow his actions to continue to be an ongoing distraction for this team.
bottom care conference dragging great schedule teams win
I said I don't care what conference they're from, they must be teams that are going to win 17 or more games. The bottom of our schedule was dragging us down. You can schedule teams with great names, but if they go 7-21, it kills you.
guys hurt people
People are saying, 'Well, do you think it'll hurt you that they're young? You know, the thing about young guys is they don't think they're going to lose. They haven't been through it yet. So we will see.
