fairly help hostile ncaa played season straight teams three tournament
At the end of the season here, we know we played three straight NCAA Tournament teams in fairly hostile environments. If that doesn't help you get ready, I don't know what does.
appreciate came three
The three of us appreciate where we came from and how we got here,
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.
among appreciate came coach job received somewhere three
The three of us appreciate where we came from and how we got here. There was no one that received a job here, among the three of us, by privilege. You had to get something done somewhere as a coach on your own.

All three of us, ... are trying to have top-notch programs.
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.

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.
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.

This is all about trying to restore confidence.
atmosphere bring chance energy experience fans gives high interested people program replace school students team
Over the years we've wanted to bring in high school people-not just players-but people who are interested in our team and our program that can't get tickets, they can't see us in the Kohl Center, so this is an opportunity, as well as our scrimmage on Oct. 30, the Red-White scrimmage, ... This doesn't replace that. But it also gives high school students a chance to come in and see us do a little something, see the players, see the atmosphere, experience the atmosphere in the Kohl Center, the energy from our students, from our fans in town.

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.
