He's really gaining confidence. His health, for one, has contributed to his confidence and number two, having some success knocking down shots. That goes a long way. He's been challenged and he's answered those challenges. To take a step, you've either got to challenge yourself or answer the challenges that have been thrown at you, and he's done that. |
His teams have focused more on ball control than on transition. They're going to work hard on the defensive end. They're very similar to his teams at Pitt, and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. |
I can promise you that's a deceiving record. They're going to be a player in this league before it's over. |
I can't figure all that out; it's too complicated for me. To entertain mathematical possibilities, that complicates our job. We just want to play our best and grab a victory or two. That gives us a chance to grab a championship. That's the dream of every coach and player, to have the chance to win a championship. |
I can't figure out all of that. Too complicated for me. |
I didn't know that. But if anybody can do it, Leon is certainly capable. He takes pride in rebounding. |
I don't see anybody stepping up as the dominant team, but I see no team showing any particular weakness. There will be a lot of teams scrambling at the end for the championship. |
I don't think we should get penalized for losing an overtime game to (the conference champions). I think that game puts in perspective how far this team has come this season. |
I don't think you can play a game like that and not be down afterward. |
I feel good about our chances. I also feel good that in our league, 17 wins has been a formula (for the NCAA tournament). |
I feel good about our chances. We're playing well. It's important to go into the tournament at full strength and with some momentum. |
I have probably given him too many minutes. Sometimes fatigue sets in, and the first thing it affects is your shot. I have faith he will knock some of those shots down. |
I saw what our team can do when it's healthy. |
I think our team remembers Washington came in here and had their way with us. |
I think we do deserve to be in the NCAA tournament. But I don't think my opinion matters much. I don't have a vote. |
