attitude battles extremely freshman freshmen great hard works
(Hansbrough) is very focused. He works extremely hard. He battles as hard as any freshman I have ever been around. Ever. ... You usually don't find freshmen with that kind of attitude and work ethic. That's a great quality.
defensive hard limiting minutes points seventeen twelve work
I thought defensively we've competed awfully, awfully hard. (The) first seventeen minutes of the first half, I think we had them at like twelve points and I think it was just hard work on the defensive end, I think we were limiting them to one shot.
coming early hard ready standing
He's working hard in practice. He's coming early and not just standing around jawing. He's getting ready for practice.
case defensive extremely felt five game good hard last needed negative player playing three
Then the other thing is that Wes has been playing so hard. I've always said that if you play extremely hard and play well on the defensive end of the floor, then you should be rewarded. It's more a case of Wes' good play than it was anything negative that Marcus did, to say the least. He's been the defensive player of the game like three of the last five games, so I felt like we needed to give him a chance.
anybody deal expect great habits harder stayed tail work
He's had better work habits in practice. I've stayed on his tail probably harder than anybody on my team. I do expect a great deal out of him.
extremely hard history road wins
In the history of this league, road wins are extremely hard to come by. When you get one, you feel like you've really accomplished something.
adjust ethic far freshmen gifted good hard kid last quicker treats wants work
You never know when your freshmen come in how hard they're going work, how they're going to adjust to bigger, quicker players. His work ethic was something I thought was really good and it's far surpassed even what I thought. He's a phenomenally gifted kid who wants to get better, who treats every play like the last and you don't find many freshmen who do it like that.
builds great stepping
a big stepping stone... builds our confidence. It was a great win, and something we can build on.
freshmen gained health michael nearly rest tyler
It was really frustrating because I think the freshmen particularly could have gained so, so much. For example, I think Tyler and Michael did. But the rest of them didn't gain nearly as much as they could have because of the health situation.
survive trying
Survive and advance. That's what we're trying to do.
broadcast grew market total
As of the end of 2005, in total broadcast revenues, the market only grew 3.8 percent.
dreaming help hoped hoping stop
I hoped that we would really play well, I hoped we would really play hard, and I hoped that would help us be very successful. But there's still a lot out there. We're hoping and dreaming that we won't stop right now.
blaze faster moss proper saw taken
I saw Moss blaze down the seam, ... I wasn't able to take the right position. I should have read it faster and taken the proper angle. I take all the blame.
eyes gonna lit rest throw
I didn't really think he was gonna throw the ball, ... My eyes lit up and the rest is history.
