concerned effort pleased time
I was very pleased with his first game. He made his first 3, but I was more concerned with his effort sprinting back on defense. It's going to take some time for him.
record work
I think Duke's record is 32-3. They don't have to work out any kinks.
advantage coach games homes opportunity situation tough
That's what I was wondering. I told coach (Darrell) Brooks, 'Who scheduled this game?' Games are very tough for us to get. We want to try to get as many homes games as possible. This is a situation where we had an opportunity to play a game on TV. We wanted to take advantage of that opportunity.
floor hoping point status
His status is at the point where he's getting up and down the floor a little bit. And we're hoping that he'll be able to play on Thursday.
guess information side support
I think if you wanted to, I guess you could have enough information to support that, if you wanted to take that side of it.
deal time true year
This is the first time this year we have had to deal with true adversity. We've been very fortunate.
game magnitude plus saint season televised tight top toughest
This is going to be the toughest game of the season up to date. I think because of the magnitude of the game. I think because Saint Joseph's is 10-10, under .500 in the league. This is a big, big game for them. It's a big game for us. It's a nationally televised game. Plus it's a tight, tight building. They are right on top of us.
fair
I don't know if it's fair or not fair, but I kind of like it. Hey, let's go with that.
fair sounds
I don't know if it's fair or not, but I like it. It sounds good.
flow goes holding minutes number
I am not going to put a number on minutes on him. We are going to see how the flow goes and see how he is doing. This is it. We're not holding him for anything. If he can go, he will.
brought deal great player playing talented
He was outstanding tonight. He brought a great deal of energy. He's a talented player and he's playing better every game.
experience few games paid pick toughness
We showed toughness down the stretch. We had to pick up our defense. I think that was one of the very few games where our experience really paid off for us.
establish inside offense pops
We wanted to go into Pops and establish the inside position. We competed at all times, and at times our offense was magnificent.
affected ball couple inside large missed pops shooting shots took
We had the ball inside and they took it from us. Pops had a couple of shots inside -- dunks he usually makes and he missed them. That really affected our shooting percentage. A large part of that had to do with their defense.
