ball beat central looked played pull respect state
I've got a lot of respect for them. They got beat all day by Toledo, by 30. They looked bad. And then they played Central Michigan, and they pull out a win. In the Ball State game, they played great.
five guys lost row
Our guys really battled. They're down, they've lost five in a row before this game, they're down 14 at half.
compete figure mentally needed physically
Physically I think we were there, but mentally we weren't where we needed to be at all to compete in this game. We need wins. We got to figure out what we want out of this season.
needed physically whatever
Physically I think we were there, but mentally, for whatever the reason, we were not where we needed to be at all.
basketball coach coached indiana
I tell kids, I'm not going to coach you like a 'mid-major' basketball player. You're going to be coached like Indiana when I was there.
bad concern consistent difficult effort eventually good nights team
The only thing that doesn't concern me is our effort. We're going to have bad nights, we're going to have good nights and everything in between. But if a consistent effort is there, we're going to eventually get it to where we're going to be a difficult team to play against. But we're not there yet.
We couldn't get out of our own way.
good hang lead win
This time, we were able to hang on to a lead as we went down the stretch. That was a good win for us.
good kids people team
Toledo was good, very good. I thought our kids competed, but we made too many mistakes. That's what Toledo has been doing to people in this building. Sometimes you just have to give the other team credit. Toledo has been very good defensively of late.
area deep eight scoring short
We get down like that and we're not deep enough in the area of scoring to compete. We're short right now with eight scholarship players.
anybody basketball brought compete game guys helped talked until
We substituted and we didn't get much out of that. We talked before the game about how guys are going to have to come in and really compete and I didn't think anybody we brought into the basketball game, until the end of the game, helped us.
ability hard himself kid prepare special terms
He's a special kid in terms of his ability to prepare himself to play, how hard he'll go and how long he'll go.
kid needed others score versatile
He's a versatile kid. We needed a kid that can make plays, make others better, and score himself.
basketball far mature playing team
At the end of the day, they were a far more mature team playing basketball than we were.
