familiar far good playing seen short turnaround
We've seen them and we're familiar with them. Having a short turnaround as far as playing them, at least it's good that we're familiar with them.
good lose people played point
When you're undefeated, that's what people are going to point to. I'm not going to lose sleep; we've played good people.
award people
We want our people to improve. We want them to get better. This is the most important award for us.
anxious glad guys longer played ready sure wait
We haven't played in so long, it seems. I know the guys are anxious to play. I'm sure glad it's Saturday. I don't know how much longer we could wait to play a game. The guys want to play, and I'm ready to play.
comeback days energy good opportunity plenty ready rest return
We haven't had a lot of 3 or 4 days off so far. It's a good opportunity to get some rest and comeback with plenty of energy and determination. I think it's going to be a good thing and we'll be ready to go when we return to practice.
best conference debating league maybe nobody quality recruiting somebody teams
The quality of teams in this league is outstanding. It's the best conference in the country. No one is even debating that anymore. We used to say it in recruiting and somebody would say, 'Well, maybe the ACC.' Nobody is questioning it anymore.

Those are the things that separate him from the other guys, his passing and his touch. And he's willing to pay the price.
played teams
We played well in the first half, and we should have been up by more. Teams lose. It's how you respond, and we've always responded well.
five good guys obviously played ready six
We played well early. That would kind of make you think the guys were obviously ready to play and there was nothing else on their minds. During the first five or six minutes, we were about as good as we've been all year.
We play to our strengths, what we have out there on the floor.
continue good knew principles shots stick tough
We knew what they want to do and how good they are off the dribble. They make tough shots and, when they do, you have to continue to play defense, to stick to your principles and rules. That's what we did.
ball best chasing constantly decided jumping keeping running shots sudden summer work year
What he's doing best this year is keeping the ball up around the basket. He's running better. He's jumping better. He's chasing down shots a lot better than he ever had. But it's not like all of a sudden this summer he decided to work on these things. He's been constantly improving.
