best guard hard parker seen shoot
Jabari Parker is one of the best, if not the best, I've seen on tape. He's so hard to guard. You've got to guard from 23 feet. He can shoot it, or he can go one-on-one from there. He can post. He's so fast and long.
experience hard league win
It was our first experience to be here (first place) by ourselves. Everyone was a little too uptight. You have to go through it first; that's why I think it's very hard to win a league championship.
hard jeff minnesota particular stop
Jeff can get going. I don't think it was any particular thing that Minnesota didn't do or that we did. It was just hard for them to stop him, like it was hard for us to stop Vince.
difficult games hard homes league losing played regardless risk road run shots top win
It's very difficult to win road games, but it's hard to win homes games (too). If, all of a sudden, you don't play well -- a game where you don't make shots or where you're not on top of your game defensively -- you really run the risk of losing regardless of where the game is being played ... This league is very demanding, very difficult.
forget happened hard seniors staff trying worked
The staff really worked hard at trying to get (players) to forget about what happened Saturday. The seniors then did the rest.
good hard jeff players
Jeff can get going. Jeff's a very good player. And when good players get going, they're hard to stop.
game great hard journey last seniors
It was a great journey this year. It's hard for the seniors that their last game had to be like this.
appreciate built choosing craig dividends efforts factor forth hard head key paying positive puts recruiting tyler work
Our recruiting efforts have been built on establishing positive relationships, and that was a key factor in Tyler choosing our program. I appreciate the hard work (associate head coach) Craig Neal puts forth in his recruiting efforts. Those efforts are paying dividends for the program.
conference duplicate everybody good hard undefeated year
Everybody thought they'd be a very, very good team, but it's kind of hard to duplicate what they did a year ago. And yet, here they are going into conference play undefeated again.
enthusiasm excitement guys unified weekend
I think it's great. You never like to lose. But I think because of the loss, the guys know what they have to do. There is more sense of an urgency. They've been unified the whole time. But I sense more excitement and enthusiasm over the weekend than any kind of pressure.
incredible journey midst special tremendous trying win
It's a tremendous win for our program. We're in the midst of a special journey. We're trying to win something. It's going to be an incredible battle, but this was a big hurdle.
conference easy fortunate game home remaining road sitting win
A win on the road is never easy in this league. We feel fortunate that we're sitting 3-4 (away from home in conference play) with one more game remaining on the road.
early failure game leave majority nature players stories success
I think the majority of the players who leave early aren't successful. You have more failure stories than success stories with that, but that's the nature of our game right now.
percent tape
He's fine. If he had to play today, he would probably have to tape it and go. But he's going to be 100 percent by Friday.
