I'm going to work with the people here and see if we can get back here for some more games. Our kids aren't used to something like this.

Their big [men] did a great job.

When Gary Neal first contacted us, I told him I'd never take an athlete under those circumstances. He's totally on his own, and we left it up to him. He enrolled The provision was that he'd have to pay his own way for one semester, and he's done a great job.

I think Tim was a little tentative in the beginning. He had two open looks in the first half and if we were at home he would normally let them fly. I will say this, Syracuse is a lot bigger than they show on tape.

They've got such great balance on that team. They've got big guards, just like he [Capel] was [as player for Duke]. They're good off the dribble and they can shoot the basketball. For us, they're tough to guard.

Timmy has played a lot of point guard for us this year and he can play the two (guard). This was a great learning experience for him. He has made a lot of progress. There is just so much to learn coming from high school to college.

They're clearly the best team in our conference right now. They have taken the throne, in my opinion, from [defending champion Old Dominion]. They just have such great balance. They've got shooters, they've got quickness, they've got strength inside.

We knew Delaware would be desperate. They were struggling, and when you're struggling, teams are scary like that.
