We'll have to take away the 3-pointers as best we can. We'll have to limit Quinn from having the ball as much as we can. |
We'll have to talk to him. |
We'll review the film. The early reviews show different things than what was indicated. I thought there was a flagrant technical by our kid, and I almost got one of the punches [by Spears] in the face. ... I saw two of the punches being thrown. Therefore, I think there is a difference. |
We'll start Craig. Marcus [Williams] really likes having Craig in the game. It's almost like Khalid [El-Amin] always wanting Rip [Richard Hamilton] in the game - it's someone to take the burden of ball handling off him. |
We'll talk about that. You've seen it. And there's a pretty good chance you won't see it again. |
We'll tire ourselves out where we need more people in the game. But anytime your eight goes against our eight, we think we have a great advantage. |
We're a league of 16 now. It seems like the old wars of the '80s and '90s again. Every game comes down to 10 kids on the floor after loose balls, someone making a big play, someone getting a big rebound, someone making a stop. |
We're a new league, a league of 16. But this seems like the old wars of the '80s and '90s. |
We're bigger, we're stronger and we're quicker. Those kind of things are going to allow you to win most of the times. |
We're coming in with a team that can arguably match up with any team in the country. Hopefully, we solved some of the size and physical problems we had last year. We, at times, can be very, very big. |
We're going backwards. I'm real concerned about that. We've been taking all kinds of time at it, and we're getting worse at it. |
We're going to have to develop into a good road team. Right now we aren't. We weren't at Marquette, at least. |
We're going to have to evolve into a good road team. Right now we're not. We weren't at Marquette at least. (Tonight) will hopefully be the first step in that direction. And it is a highlight game. |
We're going to have to take care of the basketball; we're not doing that. We have to start blocking shots around the rim to change games. We're not doing that in this tournament. And then, just defense. |
We're going to need some help from some of the guys that are struggling. Josh (Boone) is struggling a little bit. Certainly Denham (Brown) is struggling a lot. We're going to need those guys' offense to help us. |
