Roy H. Williams Three Quotations

I've said all year long that Virginia Tech is one of three or four best teams in the league. I really believe that, and I said that before they were a 45-footer away from beating Duke at Duke. ... I think they're an NCAA Tournament team at the end of the year, and I strongly believe that.

They (Miami) held their poise. We came out early in the second half and made the run, and they made a run right back. We contributed to that with three turnovers out of four possessions. I thought Hite, Diaz and Anthony (Harris) were sensational. They made shots - but they always make shots. It's nothing unusual.

It was a silly play. Bobby probably shouldn't have given him the ball. He's 2-for-3. I'll let him shoot three 3-pointers every year if he makes two of them.

I told the guys the game was going to be won on the defensive end of the floor. We had to play well. They are really a good basketball team. Those three (Guillermo Diaz, Robert Hite and Anthony Harris ) on the perimeter are a big time load. We defended awfully hard tonight.

It's hard, ... to defend an offense that uses three wide receivers, with a back, and a quarterback who makes plays with his feet.

You've got three guys on the perimeter who change positions. You don't know who's going to have the ball at what time. Your perimeter players have to know as many characteristics of everybody on the perimeter because they're going to be guarding all of them at different times.
