(Virginia) is almost like a mirror image of us. They play a lot like we do. Their guard play is very good. Their post guys are very physical. They're aggressive and they play extremely hard. Dave's done a great job of getting those guys to believe they can be successful in this league. |
Anthony Harris' three was really huge. We had a timeout and he had missed his last two or three in a row and I told him, 'You're going to make the next one.' He stepped up and I think the three he made gave us the lead in the second half. Once he made that three I don't think we gave up the lead. |
Anthony wouldn't say a word when I first got here. |
As you can see, it didn't help because he still got 30 points. He finds ways. He is smart. It is like anything you do, it will work for a short period of time. |
BC is a smart basketball team. They've got experience. They know how to play in those situations. |
But we've played in some tough places this season. We've been to the Dean Dome, Cameron Indoor Stadium, Maryland and Michigan. It's not like we don't know what it's like to play in a hostile environment. |
Dave's done a great job of getting his guys to believe they can be successful in this league. |
Duke played well down the stretch when they needed to, and J.J. made all the big plays. |
Everybody is disappointed, but we've got to get ourselves emotionally ready to come back. |
Everybody is excited that we get to keep playing and will host our first-ever NIT game. |
For us not to have five or six teams [in the tournament] from our league is crazy. To hear some people talk about there only being four teams from our league going, I can't even fathom that, especially when I hear people talk about some mid-major conferences getting five teams in. |
For us to be good and take the next step in our program those guys have got to be better, and we've got to have production out of those guys. |
Give Rob [Hite] a lot of credit. He's taken time to shoot some extra shots [in practice]. He and Diaz both. It pays off. |
Guillermo felt that this was the best time for him to enter the draft and I support that decision. In the two seasons I've been at Miami, he has been as exciting a player as I've been around. |
Guillermo's had two great performances back to back. He played really under control. We did a great job of getting him the ball. |
