point time
It was a big play at that point and time in the game.
feeling good
It was important for us to kind of get the good feeling back.
hard played
I don't think we were very crisp today. I think we played hard and we competed, I don't think we played well for 40 minutes.
coach felt gut
Sometimes as a coach, you get a gut feeling. I really never felt like we were out of things.
against breakout dangerous game hoping pieces played seen struggled
There a very dangerous team, they've got all the pieces there. They've kind of struggled here lately. You're kind of hoping the breakout game isn't against you. We've seen what they've done when they really played well.
cover crazy game gotta number
Two of them are in the game at all times. We gotta cover those two guys, but it's not like it's a crazy number of threes they're making.
expect great half players second understand
The players understand they didn't play a great second half. It's not the way we have to play in the Big Ten. You can't play one half and expect to win.
magic number picture playing talked team
We haven't talked about the big picture or that we wanted to get to 14 (wins). There's no magic number I want to get to, I just want to try to keep our team playing better and improving.

We came out ready to play and we got a pretty good start. The first 10 minutes of the game I thought we did a pretty good job.
built few foundation game great kids record road several sides winning won
We have a lot of firsts this year. We hadn't won a road game in several years and we won three. We hadn't had a winning record in a few years and now we have a winning record. I think we've built a foundation and now have to put the sides up. We just have to keep moving. I feel great about our kids and where we're going.

We'll use it to our advantage. We'll work out a little bit (today) and Friday, take off Saturday and Sunday to get our legs back and recover and get ready for the tournament.
ball crazy four minutes run score
We're up two, come out, run a play, score a basket, we're up four with the ball with 18 minutes to go. And then offensively, we just go crazy and not score.
needed pick wins
We've had some wins to kind of pick us up when we needed it.
empty running straight towards
We went 15 straight weeks. We were kind of running on empty towards the end.
