bumped certainly earned excuses guys liked ncaa penn played state team ten
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.
built guys knows man
There's not a lot of guys built like him, and he knows how to use his body. If the big man isn't scoring, he's not going to get the ball.
coaching guys likes man player staff works
I see in him a young man that's always wanted to be a Badger, works hard, listens, makes the other guys better in practice, just does all the things a coaching staff likes to see a player do.
foul guys sitting soon trouble
The guys try to do too much too soon after sitting because of foul trouble. You get a little out of sync.
aggressive execute extremely guys hungry sound
These guys aren't professionals by accident, ... They're very sound fundamentally, they execute well, they're extremely hungry and aggressive in their play.
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.
anybody excuse fairness guys knows protect quick seen wish
I like to protect my players, but I don't like to make excuses. (But) I think anybody that's seen our guys knows that was way too quick (of) a turnaround. And, in all fairness to them, I just wish they could have had some more time. But, they didn't.
ahead brian catching guys hit moving pneumonia ray seen shoot somebody wide
The way we were moving the ball, especially early, we had guys catching pneumonia they were so wide open. But then again, when somebody says, 'Go ahead and let them shoot that.' I've seen Brian Butch, I've seen Ray Nixon, I've seen these guys hit those shots. They're trying. One of these nights, they will (make them).
guys jump lost means people younger
It's the same old story and I'd like to say it's a different tune, but it's not. People will say, 'Oh, you lost this guy, lost that guy'. OK, that means there's opportunities for some of these younger guys to jump into those minutes.
guys people remember time wisconsin
These young guys get to live in their moment. I don't know what people remember about Wisconsin or what people remember about Arizona. Everyone is in their own time warp.
decent four free gotten guys gym position ranked score six three throws
Right at the end there, if we score on about three or four of those possessions where we had decent shots, we could have gotten it to two or three (points). Our free throws weren't going in. Who knows. But when you can come into a ranked opponent's gym and be in that position and get it to six it's do-able. Our guys battled tonight.
amazing bring certain coach everybody filled forward guys learned pat picked pressure ready stepped teacher time
Sometimes that's a lot to ask, so I'm not going to pressure them into being at a certain stage. As a coach and a teacher I learned a long time ago you've got to bring them along, and then when they're ready they'll show what they can do. You push, you prod, you pat and you do the other things that everybody does in teaching, and it's amazing how our guys over the years have kind of stepped forward and picked up and filled that void.
eventually guys impose somebody wear
I like the way our guys are executing. Then sometimes if somebody is quicker, bigger, stronger, eventually they'll wear you down and they'll impose their will, especially on the road.
bench filled great guys played players
Their bench players filled in great for their big guys and played better than their starters.
