Someone asked me about [North Carolina] when I was coming off the court [Thursday] night, |
Sometimes you've just got to give credit to the other team. It's not always 'North Carolina didn't do this' or 'North Carolina didn't do that.' Sometimes you just give credit to the other team, and I feel that way today. |
Survive and advance. That's what we're trying to do. |
That one hurt for a long time, ... It made me, over the course of that summer, sit back, try to investigate myself, try to see if there was something I was doing wrong, see if my goals were right. At that time, I decided my new No. 1 goal was going to be live long enough to coach my grandchildren. |
That part is mind-boggling, beyond your wildest dreams. I thought Tyler would be a major force for us. In my mind, he would be a starter from day 1, and he would be extremely important from Day 1. |
That play by Aaron gave us a chance to get our defense set and at least have a chance to guard them. |
That was a fun basketball game. If you didn't care who won, you had to enjoy that. The problem is we care deeply whether you win or lose. But I'm really proud of my team. |
That was the best defensive half we've had this year. Now we have to do away with some of the carelessness and silly turnovers. |
That?s what makes this tournament, in my opinion, the greatest sporting event there is. |
That's a big steppingstone for us. It helps our confidence. Our defense is playing real well, and our offense came through when it had to. It's a great win. It's something we can build on. |
That's happened to me a few times during my career. Generally speaking, most of the time it's the players who determine everything, anyway. We can run the same plays, but if their players do a better job of execution than mine do, they're going to win. If mine do a better job, then we're going to win. |
That's the kind of news we like to hear. |
That's the lure of this tournament. It's bad for coaches -- what Lute feels right now is terrible. But it's great for the fans. |
That's what makes this tournament in my opinion the greatest sporting event in the world. Nobody probably thought they could beat Michigan State and North Carolina back to back. But that's college basketball. |
That's what people want the tournament to be -- unpredictable, |
