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.
floor guys indiana knowing maybe missing needed open points run second shots strength struggling
We needed to have those guys on the floor when we had Indiana missing shots and they were struggling for a while. We needed to have our strength out there...and maybe open it up to 10, 15 points in our favor, knowing they'd make a run in the second half.
great guys
We got to the dance. Did some guys play older? Yeah, they did. We got some great contributions. Was it consistent? No. But we're not here if we don't get those contributions.
great group guys hope matter
We've got a great group of guys who are working hard. No matter who we have there, we hope he's a contributor.
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.
guys jump means younger
OK, that means there's opportunities for some of these younger guys to jump into those minutes.
best finished guys league nobody season
Nobody finished the season in the two best away gyms in the league like our guys (did).
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.
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.
best coming guys heck lost playing sure
Right now, they're playing their best basketball. They're coming in with a heck of a lot of confidence. What our guys better do is make sure they haven't lost any.
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.
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).
athletic coaching guys knows playing quick staff
We are not athletic or quick enough to be playing from behind. These guys know it, and the coaching staff knows it. Boy, did (Arizona) play well.
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.
