That was a fun basketball game. If you didn't care who won, you had to enjoy that. The problem is we care deeply whether you win or lose. But I'm really proud of my team.
My entire life, I dreamed of playing there. I dreamed of coaching there. I don't think anybody loves that basketball program like I love it.
We saw a big-time basketball team play in a tough environment. Our guys in the second half, I love how hard we competed. ... It seemed like every time we'd get right there where I thought we could get over the hump, but we couldn't get a stop.
The more you invest, the more you can take out of something, whether it's the stock market or investing more interest and enthusiasm in a basketball game. When you leave, you should feel like you've been part of it.
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 very disappointing there's no question about that. If you didn't care about who won the game, you had to enjoy the ebb and flow of a great college basketball game. But I do care who wins, and so it wasn't that much fun for me.
I will be surprised to see that because I think he's got a chance to play basketball for a long time. So unless he wants to try football at 35 or something like that ...
You can't do that in college basketball and consistently win games. I don't like it.
