establish game guy hard inside missed trying
We really missed him today, particularly just trying to establish an inside game to establish a tone. He's a hard guy to replace.
anybody area based country developing game good improved job physically players program recruit rely since
Our program is based on developing players. Our players have improved physically and in every area of the game since they've been here. We don't get the kind of players I could recruit at Connecticut, so we have to rely on developing them. We do as good a job as anybody in the country at developing players.
bad basketball focal force game guards lets nice played player rarely smith starts steps steve whenever
Whenever Steve Smith steps on the basketball court, he's the focal point. Everything starts with him. I think the guards played very well off of him and that allows them to be even better players. The nice part about Steve Smith as a player is that he doesn't force the action. Very rarely does he take bad shots. He lets the game come to him.
effective game question
He's doing well. Now it's just a question of how effective he can be in a game situation.

Hopefully they will enjoy tomorrow. Hopefully they will have fun tomorrow, regardless of how the game plays out. Hopefully they'll have a memory they'll cherish for the rest of their lives, and they know they will have a coach that is very proud of them.

He was outstanding tonight. I liked how he was able to take control in the huddle, they responded to that. He's a talented player and is playing better every game as he gets more comfortable with what we're doing.

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.

No one wants to come down here for a nail-biter. Yeah, we'd like to make the game easier. ... My life insurance agent would like for them, too.

Our defense allowed the game to be played at a much faster pace and I think that was the difference.
experience game huge league
(Temple) will be a huge game and our first league game. With what we have coming, we're going to be tested. Hopefully, our experience will get us through this stretch.
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.
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.
contrast force game offense run
This game will be a contrast of styles. They want to be deliberate, run their offense and force us into a half-court game. We want to run.
effect game pace
If he doesn't make those threes, the game doesn't look like the pace had any effect on us. He was just magnificent.
