beating capable committee looks team top win
I think we have to win our tournament. Normally, a committee looks at how you finish. They already have us down as a team that's capable of beating some top teams.
answers good players questions team
Our players on the outside, when they make baskets, it answers a lot of questions for us. When we don't make baskets, we're not a good team at all.
country course earned free game great per team throws
Of course they earned them. They make more free throws per game than any other team in the country attempts. That's because they're a great team.
allowed bad check class coach dna games manners ought stuff team throw wish
I wish there were some way we could check the DNA on some of these SOBs that are allowed to come to games and show bad manners and throw stuff at Duke's team -- a class coach and a class team. Why is it that we find that all over the country, not only in college, but in pros? You ought to be able to check the DNA of an idiot, and do something about it, so you'll not be able to see it again.
great teams
They're a great team. They know what they're doing. They're smart. Some teams are smart, but not tough. Some teams are tough, but not smart. This one's both. They've always been that way.
ball deserves four jim ordinary players shoot solve team
They?re not an ordinary team by any means. (The late) Jim Maloney said that shooters solve all your problems, and they have shooters. Villanova deserves to be No. 1 because no one can shoot the ball as well as the four players they have on the court, not even (No. 1) Duke.

The league's trying to make sure that we continue to sell ourselves. When our league plays top teams in the country, that's how we're going to get it done.
basketball both excellent far great moment played stood teams
I thought both teams played excellent and stood up to the moment. It was a great moment in Philadelphia basketball as far as I'm concerned.
basket difference earlier floor increased manage minutes question respect team trying underneath
There's no question about the difference he makes when he's on the floor. He's increased his minutes on the floor from 10 to 15 minutes. We're always trying to manage his time, getting him to come back slowly. He makes a lot of difference when he's underneath the basket .The other team has to respect him being there. We just didn't have that in earlier games.
five forgetting game instead passing role seem talent team telescope
In all my years I've never had a team that's had this much talent in five players. But they seem to see a game out of a telescope instead of binoculars. They don't see the whole floor. They're penetrating when they should be passing. They're passing it when they should be penetrating. They're forgetting the role of every player, and that's to communicate with one another.
ammunition anybody ball full played stop year
I think every year we've played (Duke), we haven't been able to stop anybody on that ball club. They're full of ammunition ...
fingers hole stop
You can't put your fingers in any hole to stop this team.

I will meet with him whenever he desires. He made some nice overtures to me that he wanted my support and I'm going to support him.

He has no fear. You can knock him down, he's getting up.
