climb deal good great hard lost mountain played program team tough
I thought our team played with a great deal of effort. We had a tough mountain to try and climb today. We lost to a very good program and I thought we played as hard as we could.
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.
believe bit continue hopefully program tone truly
It can set the tone for us. I truly believe our program is overachieving a tad bit when you look at the big picture. But hopefully we can continue to overachieve.
improved improving indication last program
That we had improved from last year. The program is improving every year, and that was an indication that we had improved it. This year, we improved our status.
basketball classy conference dominated kids program truly walk
They've had classy kids and when you walk in their facility, you know basketball is important at that school. They've dominated us. They are the only program in this conference that has truly dominated us.
both force hit played style teams trying
I thought we played very well. Both teams were trying to force their will and style on each other. Obviously, Carl Elliott hit some big shots.
among due experience gate inside lack pops tonight
I thought we got out of the gate pretty early. Pops established our inside presence, which is what we wanted to do tonight due to the lack of experience among their inside guys.
came character guys major plays team
I thought our guys responded well. Every guy that came in made a major contribution. We had guys making big plays after big plays, and they were different games. That's been the character of this team all year.
balance changing defense switching throw trying withers zones
I thought our defense was pretty consistent. We wanted to keep changing our defense and going between our zones and switching back to man. We wanted to keep them off balance and we didn't want Withers to get comfortable with our defenses that we were trying to throw at him.
level playing point season
I think we still have a way to go. I want to get to the point where we're playing at the level we need to play at. Because very shortly it's going to come down to one game, one play and that's my focus. We need to be at the level where its one play and your season is over.
It had nothing to do with our shooting. It had something to do with our mind-set and our focus.
record work
I think Duke's record is 32-3. They don't have to work out any kinks.
both chance depend draft drafted follow large
I see both of them back. A large part will depend on how they do in the draft camp. If they have a chance to be drafted they should follow their dreams.
believe guys
Our guys just believe that at some point, we're going to get you.
