We may not have one name that people can latch on to, so we're somewhat nondescript. But this has been an excellent basketball team the whole season. |
We need to do a better job of getting the ball in his hands. That's something we did not do well in the Air Force game. It's something we made a point of today, especially with Mario West out, to try to get him more touches and more involved. I still think, actually, he can get some more shots. |
We obviously played pretty well for the first 35 minutes. But we made some mistakes and some breakdowns we just couldn't overcome. |
We played pretty hard, but their defense was the reason we didn't get into a flow. They really did a nice job of taking away our two primary threats in Morrow and Dickey. |
We said if someone's going to beat us, let him be the guy. We didn't want him to be that wide open, but they have a lot of shooters. |
We talk about the tradition of Georgia Tech basketball when we go out recruiting, and in some sense, I feel like I owe those guys something, ... Now, we've built on that tradition, and now here we are in the Final Four. |
We'll do the only thing we can do: Get back in the gym. All you can do as a coach is stay positive and see what happens. |
We're just getting a little older. The calendar is aging them and I'm aging them. |
We're not going to shy away from our goals. Our No. 1 goal is always to get back to the NCAA tournament. |
We've got to do something different. |
We've tried to remind him that he's a very good player and he can make plays for us. That's a nice boost for his confidence going into our last game. |
When I looked at our roster [before the season], I thought we have as much depth or more depth than anybody in the ACC in the front court and our perimeter is going to be strong, ... It was just a matter of our guys going out and proving to everybody that they were good. |
When you don't do the little things - the boxing out, the transition defense, all the things you have to do - you leave it to a chance or you leave it to a bounce. |
Willie plays his best when the weather gets warm. He turns it on during tournament time. |
With the plays that we run, there are a lot of opportunities for open baskets, and, when we are making our shots and being more aggressive, we can be a pretty decent offensive team. |
