The Year of the Century: 1876 was fun to research, and I did a great deal of traveling. I wanted to cover every event of any importance in that year. So I had to immerse myself in microfilm of a dozen newspapers in different cities, and half-blinded myself looking at it, hour after hour.
My freshman year we win the thing and get a four seed. So it didn't matter then. It matters now, I guess.
Me and James (Augustine) have been through this before as sophomores. You just have to play with a different mentality.
That was what we set out to do, stop Grier.
We just didn't finish the job. They came out and played the good zone and it really affected us tonight.
We could have played better. We didn't play our best, but we stuck it out and we won.
We've got stars, you just don't know them yet. It takes a little time. Last year wasn't a grind, but you probably thought we played well when we beat someone by 20. Maybe we should have won by 40.
We came out and played well in the first half. We just didn't finish them off in the second half.
We were really disappointed with our performance at the end. Don't let my words fool you, we'll take a road win, but we should have played the last 10 minutes better.
When you get opportunities, you have to step up and take them. We need production from our bench.
We were hacking more and fouling. We weren't disciplined on defense.
We were hacking more. We were undisciplined on defense.
We didn't play as well as we wanted defensively and offensively. We're not doing the things we want but we'll take the win. The Big Ten is a grind-it-out conference.
Until I quit writing and I don't know when that will be, I will always be reading something that has to do with what I'm working on.
