handled might minor next rule start team violation
He had a minor violation of a team rule so he didn't start. He handled it great.... I might not start him next game.
definitely great guard pass point
He'll definitely be a part of our team. He's a quick-as-lightning point guard who can pass and shoot. He's also got a great feel for the game.
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.
defense game gotten player shooting won
He has gotten better at defense, and his shooting has improved. If any one player won the game for us, it was him.
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.
against effort florida great job moved north trapped
We did an outstanding job of controlling the ball. Offensively, we moved it around effectively and efficiently against their zone. Defensively, we trapped and got North Florida out their rhythm. That was a great effort by our team.
ball decent throw
We couldn't throw the ball in the ocean. We got decent looks, we just couldn't make a basket.
five hard minutes second whatever
We didn't play hard for the first five minutes of the second half. For whatever reason, that happens.
family florida great job leaving opportunity work written
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.
