Phil and I talked about many things at lunch yesterday, including ways we can help the victims of the hurricane, |
something not out of the ordinary and blew it up. |
That's for me to know and you to find out, |
The fans are bad everywhere you go, with language, and with behavior. You can't put enough cops in the stands, but you ought to give the cops cameras, give people cameras, so they can take a picture of the idiot and you can identify him. |
The guy that surprised me was Nardi. He was shooting from 25 feet out. |
The league's trying to make sure that we continue to sell ourselves. When our league plays top teams in the country, that's how we're going to get it done. |
The national media hurts the A-10 more than any other league. We're always looked at as a stepchild. Our TV situation doesn't help recruiting. That's a major reason I play the type of schedule that I do, for recruiting. |
The point of the matter is that we have too many people who sell this league down. If this was the ACC or it was the Big Ten, we'd be busy talking about the parity of the league and not talking about one team carrying the day. |
The trend is we don't have a good team. They're a ranked team. They're supposed to beat us. |
There's no question about the difference he makes when he's on the floor. He's increased his minutes on the floor from 10 to 15 minutes. We're always trying to manage his time, getting him to come back slowly. He makes a lot of difference when he's underneath the basket .The other team has to respect him being there. We just didn't have that in earlier games. |
There's so much parity in our league that they're all favorites. I think we're the underdogs. Put that out there. |
These youngsters came from not just a humble, but a terrible background. And this university made it possible to reach out and pull in people of that kind of background. That?s something that I came here for. And I?m hoping this university will stay its course. |
They just want to bounce the ball and dribble the ball, but I talk about things that are going to stay with them for the rest of their lives. Somewhere along the line, it will reverberate and they'll remember it. |
They made shots. It is just that simple. We couldn't stop them. We didn't put enough pressure on the ball, even though we stretched out the defense. We let guys get off, and we dug ourselves a hole early in the first half. |
They might beat the hell out of us, but we're not in awe of anybody. I've never seen our kids go into a place and feel in awe of somebody. Sometimes they don't even know guys' names. It's unbelievable. |
