We've got four guys 6-10, although we have these guys like 220 (pounds), |
We've got to go to practice and work on it. We've got to play a lot better than we played. |
Whatever defense we were in, we had to stretch that towards him. If he put the ball on the floor, we tried to come over and help the guy guarding him. Nobody is going to guard him by himself. |
Whatever defense we were in, we had to stretch toward him because he's such a good scorer. |
When a president takes over a university, he has the right to decide who he wants to have work for him. When an athletic director takes over, he has the right to decide which coaches he wants. |
When I was at Syracuse, we were better on the road. There was more pressure at home because everybody wants you to win so bad ...The best two games we've played all year are our last two away games. |
When we drove, they had some really big guys in there. Aldridge looks like he's 7-foot-1 to me because he's way bigger than our 6-10 guys. |
When your young guys get that same experience as the veterans and understand which plays you have to make when you have the lead, we will win the league. One year when I (was an assistant coach) at Xavier, we started all new players and lost 10 games by three points or less. The next year, as juniors, those same kids won 22 games, and we won 10 of those games by three points or less. |
Words cannot describe how proud I am of the way my guys came back from that horrible first half. |
You can look at the stat sheet like I can. One thing jumps right off the page. I know they got 25 free throws, and we got four. |
You can't beat anyone when the other team shoots 58%. I'm disappointed in the way we played. I thought our effort needed to be better in terms of efficiency. |
You root for him, and hope everything goes well. Bruce gave me an opportunity for which I'll always be grateful. |
You'd have to poke his eye out for him not to play. |
