couple credit last liked seemed watched
It seemed like they scored on the last 10 possessions. Part of it is you always have to give credit to the other team. I like their club. I watched them a couple times last year. You have to give them credit. We didn't play as intelligently as we'd have liked to.
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.
bound last outside percent shot sooner three
They shot something like 60 percent from outside their last three games. That was bound to even out sooner or later.
felt game impressive last night seen shooting team
Last night was about as impressive an opening-round game that I have ever seen a team play. I mean, I felt like they were shooting about 85 percent. They were guarding. They were doing everything.
chance far including kansas last lucky seen struggled
I've seen a lot of teams, including Kansas last year, go far after they struggled in their first games. You have to get by and get lucky sometimes. We have to play better Saturday. We have no hope, no chance if we don't play better Saturday.
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.
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.
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.
