This group has slowly figured out that we can't blame it on anybody else, that we can't hang our heads. If we want to change this, it's got to start inside our locker room. I would say over the last week or 10 days, we've really practiced extremely hard every single time. |
This is a 401(k)-styled defined contribution plan, ... It has performed very, very well. |
This is Social Security, and the government is not going to get itself into a situation where it has to cover for a lot of cowboys out there, ... There will be standards and they probably will be written tighter...we have a pretty good private pension system and it's very regulated, and there are surprisingly few blow-ups. |
This was the first game in about a month where I don't feel like we took a step forward. We'd been improving every game up until today. |
Those are the kinds of things you look back on and realize that so many people benefit from passing along their experiences, their successes and their failures. It meant a lot to me. |
Virginia Tech got into the passing lanes and really rattled us. |
We can't panic. We have a lot of games left. Panic can't be a part of the equation here. We have to keep working at it. |
We couldn't allow him as many touches as we did before. |
We couldn't get anything to fall. Their defense was a good part of the reason we didn't make any shots, but we had some roll off. |
We executed well in stretches, but . . . we took a couple possessions off. It was finishing off the execution. Three times we had (Anthony) Morrow open in the corner. They didn't see him. I guess he blended in with the crowd. |
We had our chances. It came down to 3-pointers. Even if they were semi-open or semi-contested, they still knocked them down. |
We haven't changed anything, ... What I plan to do, probably around Oct. 1, is cut back on individual instruction and do more team stuff. |

We haven't taken care of the ball. It's been so hard for us to put together consistent stretches in games. |
We knew coming into the game that defending the 3-point line was going to be a big part of our job and obviously we didn't do that very well. |
