bogged came game great guys job key last offensive watched
I told our guys before the game that the key would be what we got from our bench. I watched our last game (KSU) where we bogged down on the offensive end. Obviously, A.J. came up big. They did a great job of double-teaming the post.

He went over in August last year and he was due back over here the middle of next month.

You're always going to be disappointed when you don't win. It's over and done with. Our No. 1 goal now is the NCAA tournament. We're one of 65 teams and we hope to be the last one standing.

basketball chase commitment dream early education five four last leave major playing reason reflection school score seniors success sure true year
The major reason for our score is we had four of our five seniors leave school early last year to chase their dream of playing professionally. I'm not sure the score is a true reflection to the commitment and success we've had when it comes to education in our basketball program.
aggressive couple decisions fact free good guys happy job last needed pushed run seven situation stayed staying throws
I thought our guys did a good job of staying aggressive the last couple of minutes. We probably didn't make as many good decisions as we needed to be making in that situation but, overall, when they made their run and got back in it, we stayed with it. We pushed it back out there and made some free throws at the end. I'm happy with the fact that we had only seven turnovers and the job we did on the boards.
confidence couple knowing last number
Because of what we've been able to do the last couple of weeks, I think they've got confidence knowing we can play a number of different ways.

He hasn't even scratched the surface of what he can be.

It was a gut-wrenching game. The way West Virginia fought to the end, I'd like to congratulate them on the way they run their program.

It's obvious he's been in pain. I've been worried all year just watching. I knew he was having a tough time.
believed chance playing
Every chance we could go inside, that's what we wanted to do. We've always believed in playing inside-out.
game separates
His versatility is what separates him. There's not really a part of the game he can't handle.
turn
If we turn it over 24 times now, we won't have a chance.
daniel doubt guard hand playing pride puts quicker time wanting wants
One thing about Daniel is he does take a lot of pride in wanting to guard people. If I called a time out, say someone is playing really well, and I say 'who wants to guard them?' There's no doubt he puts his hand up quicker than anybody.
