definitely game strength
Our strength has never been the three. We definitely want the game more in the paint.
aware ball block free game knocked late mental mistakes throws
When you don?t block out on free throws and have the ball knocked away from you late in the game, it?s tough. You have to be aware of who is around you. We made too many mental mistakes late in the game to win.
games incredible kids south
Those kids are hurting. That was an incredible effort. I have never experienced games like this where they just go south on you in different ways.
ability available both deep ends excited exciting game good guard hard joining late player plays range shooter
To have a player of Patrick's ability available this late in the game is rare. We are very excited about him joining our team. He's an exciting player. He plays hard on both ends of the court. He's a very good shooter with deep range and he has the ability to play both guard positions.
continue games home hopefully win
We want to continue to play well and hopefully win on the road. From now on, there are no more home games and all games are on the road.
bring concerned game high playing
We're more concerned about playing at a high level. We're doing a lot of things well, but we have to bring our 'A' game because we have high goals.
cbs excited game great kids opportunity playing televised
Going to Rupp and playing in a nationally televised game on CBS is a great opportunity for us. I know our kids are real excited about it.
defensive florida game good half held man pick second steven using
With Florida you have got to pick a poison. I thought in the second half by using man where there was more one-on-one coverage, Steven (Hill) really held his own. I thought he had a really good game on the defensive end.
break couple days game heart hungry job next sacrifices talked
We talked about how much the game hurt, but we don't want it to break their confidence. The next couple of days we have to find out how hungry we are. Are they going to make sacrifices and put their heart out there to get the job done?
against game happens high kansas level maybe patriot player school
On film sometimes you say you are doing that in the Patriot League, but he also had 20 something against Kansas and a big game against Syracuse. He's a high level player that just happens to be at a school that maybe doesn't get that much recognition.
game goes last prepared rough start three win
The start is a key. We have to be prepared for a rough game that goes down to the last two or three possessions and find a way to win it.
best fans games gave looking somebody
Awesome! Somebody is looking over us. We never gave up. One of the best games I've ever been a part of. The fans were incredible.
bad finds game gas himself picture point pure rest time turn turns ways
As for a pure point guard, there is a picture of Ronald Steele in the dictionary. He can turn it on and turn it off, and he never turns it off at a bad time. He finds ways during the game to rest himself and when it's time at the end of the game to take it over, he's still got the gas in his tank.
games guys hard knew lost played
I knew we had lost two games by not very much, but played hard doing it. I told the guys I wanted them to play hard, but I also told them to have fun.
