hopefully league smarter
We just have to be smarter, and hopefully we will be smarter in league play.
hate
I hate to be evasive, but I am just not going to comment.
natural players
(Harris) may be one of the quickest players I have coached. He's a natural leader.
attitude concentration level needs sustain
He's come so far, but he reverted today. He needs to be able to sustain a level of concentration and an attitude that is representative of what we want at FAU.
ability cleared elevated finally gave lift ncaa pass scoring
Carlos gave us a big lift when the NCAA finally cleared him to play. His rebounding, scoring and ability to pass elevated our team's play considerably.
experience hunted teams
We're the hunted and that's a new experience for some of our guys. We've got to get better. Teams are going to be gunning for us.
five hard minutes second whatever
We didn't play hard for the first five minutes of the second half. For whatever reason, that happens.

Leaving Florida was hard. At first I didn't want to leave, at first I didn't want to look at another job because we have a lot of work to do there yet...but this was an opportunity here for me professionally and for my family was that was just a great fit. It had 'Matt Doherty' written all over it.
energy fans game hotel knew orleans school step
The thing about New Orleans is that you step out of your hotel and you feel the energy and see the fans decked out in school colors, ... And then of course, after the game you knew you had a place to celebrate.
victory
I've never been more disappointed after a victory than today.
react
The big thing is how we react to this. This was our first real setback.

We really don't have a true point guard. It's kind of unfair to put him in that position.
kindness mall wife
In a way it's kind of nice. I can go to the mall with my wife and not be recognized.
attitude kick lack proud quite since
I didn't know if he had it in him, quite frankly. I didn't know if he was going to quit or if we were going to have to kick him off the team. Sometimes there was a lack of effort, and his attitude wasn't the best, but he's come a long way since then and I'm proud of him.
