guys memphis recruiting seen shooting teaching time west whoever
Over the time I've been recruiting in Memphis and West Tennessee, I've seen that the shooting is very good. Whoever is teaching these guys how to shoot is doing something right.
definitely earn guys looking role starting three
He's going to have to earn (the starting job). I don't think you give a role that important, you don't just give it away to somebody. He's definitely one of the two guys, three guys we're looking at.
basketball built final georgia guys owe talk tech tradition
We talk about the tradition of Georgia Tech basketball when we go out recruiting, and in some sense, I feel like I owe those guys something, ... Now, we've built on that tradition, and now here we are in the Final Four.
beat guys mentality
The one thing that those guys do is they try to beat you every possession, which is a mentality we have to recapture around here.
best coaching credit everybody guys men offer prepare punch staff worn year
They have to prepare for the best punch everybody has to offer every game. How those guys don't get worn down by it year after year after year is a credit to the coaching staff and the young men who come in and put on that uniform.
coming credit floor freshman guys harder kid run runs works
The kid can really run the floor and you have to give him credit. He works very hard. We told our guys coming in that he probably runs the floor harder than any freshman I've seen.
instead stopped taking trouble
I thought we got into trouble when they started pressuring us and the five-count was on. Instead of taking them off the dribble, we got tentative. I just think we stopped attacking.
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.
bad gotten maybe sure tired
I think we may have gotten a little tired mentally. I'm not sure if we wanted it bad enough or not. Maybe we did, but I do know Clemson wanted it more than we did today.
build five goes start took wiped
It goes without saying, we start all over, we start from scratch. It's unfortunate that what took five years to build was wiped away with one season.
blended couple finishing guess morrow open three took
We executed well in stretches, but . . . we took a couple possessions off. It was finishing off the execution. Three times we had (Anthony) Morrow open in the corner. They didn't see him. I guess he blended in with the crowd.
apart equation panic
Panic can't be apart of our equation right now. We just have to win.
care consistent hard taken together
We haven't taken care of the ball. It's been so hard for us to put together consistent stretches in games.
georgia good liked night shoot
Thaddeus didn't shoot really well the other night, but the good thing about him is that he's not just a scorer. He can do other things, too. We also really liked his transcript. He's a Georgia Tech-type of kid.
