coming course game good statement tyler
Of course Tyler coming into this game wasn't a first-team, all-league player. I would say he made a pretty good statement here tonight.
aggression eight game last plays thinking tough
I thought some of our aggression just went away. It's tough to explain. It wasn't like they were thinking the game was over at the half. In the last eight minutes, they made more plays than we did.
couple game great win
I thought when we executed well, we got some great first attempts. ... There were a couple of breakdowns (and) in a game like this you can't have the breakdowns. You have to try to win every possession.
became early game help platform realized somewhat winning
You realized very early on it wasn't just about basketball. It was a platform to help people. The winning of the game became somewhat insignificant.
couple game great mistakes win
There were mistakes (against Maryland) that we could have controlled. When we executed well, we got some great looks. There were a couple breakdowns and in a one-possession game you have to win every possession.
appreciate game people supposed
People don't appreciate the way the game is supposed to be played.
best camps college concentration definitely education game guess kids lose opportunity opposed players sane seen sight spread stretched supposed talent tend terms three top
The talent is definitely stretched a little thinner. In terms of the concentration of top 100, top 200 players -- it is spread out a little more. You think about going all the way back to Princeton, N.J., where you had the best 200 players in the country. Then, you went to two camps and now we're at three camps. I guess it's not all bad, because now you give more kids an opportunity to be seen. And we tend to lose sight that the game is supposed to be about opportunities for kids to get an education or be seen and do something better with their lives, as opposed to making it sane for college coaches.
coaches gotten handle kids listens skill tough works
He's gotten better every year. He's one of these kids that listens to his coaches and works on his game. He's tough to handle because of his skill and size.
capable earn goes good guard handle hard point role starting tendency
He's going to have to earn it. I don't think, for a role that important, you just give it to somebody. I feel like I have a good handle on what he's capable of from a basketball-playing standpoint. But there's a lot more that goes into the starting point guard role for our team. I have a tendency to be hard on those guys.
floor freshman hurt last remember run saw time
He hurt us really, when you look back at it, on second-shot opportunities and transition. I can't remember the last time I saw a freshman run the floor that hard.
athletics floor great ground plays remind starting steals three
He's a great athlete, and I always remind him that he can make plays off the ball. I don't think he understands how much ground he covers. I think you're starting to see that. He had three steals today. He's starting to see the floor better.
cost depend economic future lesson object paying pensions security social
I think it's an object lesson that paying the cost of Social Security in the future is going to depend upon economic growth. If you don't have growth, our pensions and other obligations are going to become unaffordable.
deep defenders shoots surprises
He shoots it from very, very deep. I really think he surprises some of the defenders with how deep he can shoot that basketball.
heels stopped
I just think we stopped attacking. We started getting tentative, getting on our heels and used up all our timeouts.
