conference next stronger
You may think I'm crazy, but I think the conference will be stronger next year.
last played time wish won
This is the 11th time in the last 13 years we've played for an ACC championship. I wish we'd won all those, but just being there is an honor.
area changed time
This is one area that should've been changed a long time ago.
love run teams
Some teams have run with us and we love that.
wants
No way she's 5-6. I look down on her, and I'm about 5-6½. She wants to be 5-6, so we let her be 5-6.
compare dean good says somebody time
Dean? Man, you make me feel old. The only time when somebody says dean that I think would make me feel good is if they compare me to Dean Smith, to tell you the truth.
hard love proud
That's why I love these kids, they play so hard for me. They play hard for each other, but I'm the coach, so I think they play hard for me, too. I'm really proud of that.

A little sloppy at times, but we knew it was going to be a tough game. We're a team, with the tempo we play, lots of times we play in runs. We felt like we eventually could go on a run and get a pretty good lead.

They gave us a different look than what we usually see, but I thought they did an excellent job.

We did key a little on her. We were trying to keep her from getting hot.

There are differences between being quick and fast. I think there's no doubt Marion was faster, but as far as being quick, I don't know. It's a good comparison. Ivory is quick and she's fast, too. I'd say Marion is faster, but quick? I don't know which one.
best came ford guard ivory men phil point practice sit talk watch
When Ivory first came in, I would have Ivory go and sit with Phil and watch our men practice and Phil Ford would talk to her about being a point guard. In my book, he's the best point guard there's ever been.
great maryland tough worthy
Yes, Maryland is worthy of that. They are a great team. And they are young, so they are going to be tough for a long time.
