The toughest part for bigger-than-average people is to move your feet and to get your feet in good position,
ability attention dimension draws gives good help obviously player score ways
He's obviously a very good player who gives us a dimension where he draws attention from the defenses. His ability to score in some different ways is always something that will help the whole team.
freshman good necessity needed played
Don't know yet. Sometimes it's out of necessity that you play a freshman right away. Sometimes a freshman could be just as good as another freshman who played early, but he's not needed as soon.
battle good guys won
It was a hard-fought game. Our guys got some pretty good looks. We won the battle over the grabs and we won the turnover battle. We didn't get it done where it mattered, and that is the score.

People that know basketball recognize effort opportunities that a guy takes advantage of and he's done that every minute he's been on the floor.

catch four good group locker season statement themselves tough toward
This group, to have accomplished what they've done and to catch themselves in mid-season and get those four really tough (victories) toward the end of the year, I think they made a statement that it has been a pretty good season for such a young group. That's a tough group in (that locker room).
coaching continue good hopefully hungry stay
They're attentive, they're hungry, they have good instincts, they've had good coaching and hopefully they'll continue to stay hungry and hopefully they'll continue to get good coaching.
attack ball catch gets good job paint post stronger
Defensively he's better. Passing, you know, he's been able to catch the ball in the post or attack the paint and find people. He's done a pretty good job of that. He's stronger with the ball when he gets it inside.
force gets good line
He didn't force anything, and he gets a double-double. That's a good line for Brian. It's a good line for anybody.
coaching college coming continue early good helps hopefully hungry played stay three
All three played in pretty good (high school) programs, and that always helps coming into a college situation. But being the first practice, it's still too early to get a read on the freshmen. They're attentive, they're hungry, they have good instincts, they've had good coaching and hopefully they'll continue to stay hungry and continue to get good coaching.
easier easily happen jump people seen ship shown
It's easier for them to know that if they do the right things, they've seen it happen where you can have some success. And people don't jump ship as easily. They don't get discouraged as easily if they're a part of something that has shown some success.
conversation impact people
I don't know where we'd be without him. That's not conversation. That's a fact. He has that kind of impact on the people around him.

I'm not making excuses or apologies for how this team played. Penn State is the only team as young as us in the (Big Ten Conference). We played in the NCAA tournament. We just got bumped and our guys earned our way here....I certainly liked the way they played.
