beat certainly chris plenty rogers talented team time
They certainly have individuals on that team that are capable. They are plenty talented enough. And they didn't have Chris Rogers the first time around when they beat us in Tucson.
agenda best coaching easiest element highest
The easiest thing to do in coaching is when you have an element of success, to take off (for) the highest paycheck. That's never been the agenda for me. My agenda has always been what's best for the kids.
ball causes chance couple eight good half open pressure problems seven shared side teams zones
The first half we probably shared the ball as well as we have all year. Zones give us a chance to get open looks. When teams get up on us and pressure us man-to-man, it causes problems for us. There were a couple sequences in the first half where we made seven or eight passes, side to side. Zones are usually good for us.

You were blackout drunk the night before if you wake up and have no idea where you are and why.

The last time we played at home we got beat by a really good team. I thought tonight our guys were really looking forward to the challenge and knew we had an opportunity to be successful.
ball bit country cross finding looked played shared
I thought we played well offensively and defensively, and we shared the ball better than we have all season. Virginia, finding out they had to come cross country ? it looked like they had a bit of fatigue.

We probably played as well as we have to date. We're playing better, we're getting there, and it's a good time to start doing that.

For him to do what he did after being out says a lot about Gabe Pruitt as a player.
causes felt games open opportunity pressure problems safe teams year zones
It's safe to say this was one of our better games all year. I've felt all along, all year long, that zones give us the opportunity to get open looks. And when teams get up after us man-to-man and pressure us on the half-court and full-court, it causes problems for us.
nice
It was nice to see them play well, see them play up to their capabilities.
comment ready
I'm not going to comment on the NCAA. We're getting ready to play Arizona.
came courageous gave matt practice week
I thought Matt was very courageous today. He didn't practice all week and he didn't participate in shoot-around for more than 15 minutes, but he came in and gave us a lift.
across clear country definitely finding half late sunday travel
For Virginia, finding out that they had to travel clear across the country on Sunday -- they definitely fatigued a little late in the first half and at the end of the game.
believe best game good knew needed tonight year
He's a good player. We knew that. He's a handful, like he's been all year. Tonight he had an exceptional night. I have to believe that this was his best game all year offensively and they needed that.
