Some teams deserve to get in the NCAA Tournament because of the way they're playing now. Unfortunately, we don't have the numbers. |
Sometimes this thing becomes bigger than life itself. It isn't. |
Style of play, plain and simple. |
Teams have been coming at us all year. We get everyone's best shot and the last (few) games were no different. We had to battle to win them. |
That was a great win for us. |
That was a heck of a college basketball game. That was two teams that were slugging it out to stay alive. A team (Xavier) that athletic and that skilled and that well coached and that tough on the defensive side of the ball looked like a five, a four or a three. |
That was a performance tonight against the other best big on the West Coast. |
That was extra pressure. It's the kind of thing you face in the tournament. The lights were on all day for our guys. |
That's a great program, there's no question about that. I try not to think about that kind of stuff. At the same, I would never say never, either. |
That's a reflection of his personality. He's tough, hard-nosed. They have a toughness about them that comes from him. |
That's Adam. That's been Adam for a long time. When he's out there, special things happen and intense things happen. It's vintage Adam. |
That's J.P. all year. He doesn't draw a lot of attention to himself, but he's been amazingly consistent all year. At the end of the night, pick up the stats, and he's got a double-double. |
That's quite a select group we are in. I'm proud of all the guys that have been here and put everything in that allowed people to respect our program so much. |
The ACC is the best league in the country. Our guys dug themselves out of a hole and got a great win. |
The business has changed and the landscape has changed since those legendary days. There are a lot more really, really good teams and a lot more getting into the NCAA tournament now. |
