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.
developed players
They've really developed some toughness. The players get it done between the lines.
coaches good home players
I don't think it's ever a good thing when coaches or players get booed by their home crowd.
coaches far good happened home national players time won
I don't think it's ever a good thing when coaches or players get booed from the home crowd, that's never something that is positive. As far as me getting cheers, that's happened for a long time there...that's my alma mater, that's where I played, I won a national championship there.
coaches good home players question
There's no question I don't think it's a very good thing when coaches or players get booed by the home crowd. That's never something that's positive.

Jeff can get going. Jeff's a very good player. And when good players get going, they're hard to stop.
enjoy enjoyed glad last ncaa players sure
I'm glad we got a day for the players to enjoy what they did last weekend. We made sure they enjoyed it. But this (the NCAA tournament) is what you play for.
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.

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.

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.

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.
defending defensive effort exciting good great improvement job team
I think we are a better defending team. I still think we have a long way to go and we have done a lot of improvement in that area. That is exciting because I think we have done a pretty good job through 17 games. All-in-all it has been a great team effort in the defensive end.
totally wrong
It's totally wrong to say they don't like to run,
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.
