focus games good maybe quality team wins
It's just disappointing. I don't really have good answers. ... Maybe I will (feel good about what the team has done) at the end of the year. I don't feel good right now. The quality of our play hasn't been good for two games in a row. That's my measuring stick. You focus on the quality and the wins come.
basketball coach craziest good hope island positives
It's the craziest thing I've ever been around. I've never been on a team, coach or player, where this has happened. I just hope we can take the positives to Rhode Island and see if we can play good basketball again.
becoming finally liked national player serious statement
It makes a statement we're serious about becoming a player on the national level. I would have liked it to have been done two years ago, but that's OK. We can finally say we're going to have a groundbreaking ceremony. I'm so excited.
ten
Not at all. He's a Big Ten veteran.
exceeded knew publicity quality ton
They're getting a ton of publicity in St. Louis. They have not exceeded my expectations, because my expectations were very high. We knew they could come in and give us quality minutes.
amazing defense ends excited experience figure finally playing season seen success teams value
I think they get it. I finally think they get it. It's not like they've been obstinate, but when you experience success by doing something consistently well - playing defense - then they get it. ... I can't tell you how excited I am about that because I've seen teams have amazing ends to their season when they figure out the value of defending.
absolutely baffling critical days extra hate love name nights possible post shot tape watch worked worse
I'm going to be really critical of myself when I watch tape to see how in the Lord's name did we not get him a shot at the rim somehow. What's baffling is we worked extra (in practice) on getting him the ball, and he didn't get one shot at the rim. There are days when I absolutely love what I do and days when I hate it. Right now, I hate it. We worked on making the post feed, and the more we tried, the worse it got. It was one of those nights when everything possible could go wrong.
against bad good knock news six teams toe
I like the six wins, and I don't like the six losses. The good news is, we didn't really stub our toe against the teams we should beat, but the bad news is that we didn't knock off any of the (quality) opponents.
both care complete conference conversion defensive ends establish good offense quality tournament
I want to establish quality on both ends of the floor. It's very important going into the conference tournament that we're not just good on offense, but also good on defense. We have to have a better defensive conversion (from offense to defense), we need to take care of the ball. I need to see a complete performance.
bit earned impressed luke midst played position searching
I'm searching a little bit for answers. I think Luke has earned the spot. I was very impressed with the way he played in the midst of a gut-wrenching game. I thought he played really hard, I thought he played steady, solid. He didn't just get that position by default. He got it because he's played well.
came wheels
When he came out, it was like their wheels came off.
best defend defensive games reason win
The reason we were able to win is that we did defend very well. It was one of our best defensive games of the year.
bad dating died games good last literally lost news straight winning won year
That's how it's been for us. It's been unbelievable. We've literally won and lost for 19 straight games (dating to last season). The good news is last year I would have died for that. The bad news is that we can't get on a winning streak.
against basketball free glass good high junior mattered observer outside people played road shot sound sure team throw tough turned
This will sound a little strange, but we did not play good basketball tonight. I'm sure that the outside observer will say they really played tough against a top-ranked team on the road and blah, blah, blah. We turned it over 20 times. We were not able to keep people off the glass when it mattered most. And we shot like a junior high team from the free throw line.
