Their 7-for-9 shooting in the second half from 3-point land was something that really, really hurt us deeply. But the inability of us to get the ball into the paint was probably the thing that killed us. |
Their arrogance doesn't show. They are not doing any kind of chest thumping that some teams carry, in my opinion, too far. |
Their big guys dominated us. Last night when I went to bed or this morning when I woke up, I would never have thought that would have happened. Maybe a wash, but certainly not that. |
Their big guys stood up and knocked our guys off the block. Our guys took it, accepted it, and weren't really much of a factor. |
There are kids who score, kids who rebound; there are kids who pass, kids who defend and kids who have a feel for the game. He has all those attributes. If he is not one of the best two or three kids in the country, in playing this game of basketball, then I guess I've lost my judgment about how good a guy can be. |
There are no easy routes in this tournament. I thought we could eventually take control of this game, but Kentucky kept fighting back. |
There is nobody like him. When you watch Roy play, from a coaching standpoint, he's everything you want a player to be. He has composure and seems to want the ball in tough situations. |
There isn't an easy one left, which is good. We proved that we're ready now. |
There were no barbs coming from this program. Miserable people write things when they don't have anything else to do. I said something in jest. I guess I shouldn't have. |
There's a blizzard outside. We were a blizzard inside. |
There's a chance that one of the parents will be moving up here with one of the players if everything goes through. I shouldn't pre-judge, but in most instances like this, they face a loss of housing privileges. If that happens, one of the parents will be moving with one of the players. |
There's got to be an adjustment on that. I don't think it's as productive as it should be, in a true sense of competitiveness ... just because of the time aspect about it. |
There's no good losses, no moral victories, nothing of that nature. But the champion in them did come out. They weren't going away without trying to win a game. |
There's no one in the country that has guard play like them and they're a very difficult team to stop. |
There's no question we don't win this without Ben Gordon. |
