Today's society wants to skip the process. And I hate that
We want men here, not just players. Players are a dime a dozen
Discipline is the greatest form of love you can show someone. Great players crave discipline
We are in the trophy generation.Give them a trophy for 23rd place.That makes the parents happy
I haven't always recruited for the best talent. I've taken a few guys who would fit for different reasons. Leadership. Toughness
I see this being a good enough basketball team to win a lot of games yet.
I still think this team is good enough to win some big games. This is a talented basketball team with good guys that has had a horrendous schedule and it's taken its toll.
Right now, we just can't seem to find the basket with anything. When you do that, that affects other parts of your game, and that's what's happened to us right now. We have to regroup and find a way to get back on track.
That was our best basketball game in maybe a couple years. This was close to a perfect game.
The best news for me is we are playing the best defensive basketball we've played. I'm very optimistic because I do like what this team has to offer. ... (But) I think we're a mixed bag of nuts right now, to be honest with you.
This is a good basketball team, and when I say good, I don't mean just average good, I mean good enough to beat anybody in this league, good enough to make any run that we can make. But there's not a lot of margin for error.
After watching (Atlantic Coast Conference) basketball growing up, when they started moving that thing to different sites I thought it hurt more than helped. So that's the only question I would have. Do we need to establish ourselves in a spot and really build on that?
I wanted to make a point to Paul that he has to take the ball to the basket instead of shooting those fade shots. I guess I haven't done a very good job of that this year, and so I reverted back to a way I know best.

I was proud of my team, staff and assistant coaches, it was a heck of a job. They were a good basketball team and put more pressure on us than Wisconsin. Our shooting and rebounding was very good, and it helps when we only turn the ball over three times in the second half.
This is a very, very good basketball team. And it was a big win because we had to win it the defensive way.
I'm disappointed that right now, we can't seem to find the basket with anything. I'm sure we've lost some confidence ? we're going to have to work through it.
You have to look at the first game, and it's hard to look past it in this tournament, especially now when you see some of the eight, nine and 10 seeds. Kentucky and Wisconsin as eight and nine seeds, that tells you the 11 seeds are going to be pretty good basketball teams.
I don't think there's any question that was our best performance of the year, against a really good team. That was our best basketball in a couple of years.
