bring depends guys special team willing
It depends on who else we bring (from recruiting). But what made this year's team so special is that we had guys willing to play different positions.
problem team year
I'd give it to him because his team is in first place. But I'd have no problem with Millsap getting it either. If there was a year where you could have co-MVPs, this is it.
closer help teams
The new teams are all closer so that should help a little.
coaching focused pleased remember stayed staying team time
I've been coaching a long time and I really don't remember one where we trailed the whole time. But I was pleased with my team for staying focused the whole time. We just stayed there and stayed there.
block far overall prepare shots sure teams
As far as overall size, this is one of the better teams we've had. I'm sure other teams prepare for it because they know we're going to block shots and do some things inside.
across built confidence early game hard pace saw stop team
Because we couldn't stop them early on and set the pace of the game, they built confidence as the game went on. It's hard to get across to your team that they're 0-8 but better than that, and we saw that.
beat both motivation team work
They have nothing to play for, but that could work both ways. If they find the motivation and really want to get after it, they can beat any team in the league.
care crowds guys liked road stuff team
Savo and those guys were aggressive. They didn't care where we were. They liked going on the road because the crowds and stuff got them mad. This team doesn't have that kind of fire.
complain might team work
This might be the first team I've had that doesn't complain and get sluggish. They all come to work hard.
afraid team
That's the kind of team you're afraid of because you don't know which one will show up.
loss louisiana playing state tech tough win
It's a tough match-up for us. That's why this loss (to Louisiana Tech on Saturday) was so big. We win and we're playing (No. 6) Boise State instead.
move save smart
It was probably a smart move for them to save him for the tournament.
match tough
I think we match up better with Boise. That's why this was a tough one to lose.
fits good kids obviously perfect recruit smart
You obviously have to be smart to get into that school. But they also recruit kids who are perfect fits for that system. That's why they're so good every year.
