gave great guys hooked ready
I thought our guys gave a really great effort. They were hooked up and ready to go.
attacking efficient finish good guys job white
I thought our guys did a good job. We just couldn't finish. We weren't able to make enough shots. I thought Marcus White did a good job of attacking and being able to finish and be efficient around the basket. We didn't make enough to make them adjust, and that was the key.
ball care gave good guys ohio second
Our guys gave a good effort. They fought, but we didn't take care of the ball in the second half. A lot of that had to do with Ohio State's quickness.
biggest bounce fighting guys kept plugging tough
That was my biggest concern. It's tough for our guys to bounce back, you know, it's that 'here we go again.' But we kept fighting and kept plugging away.
effort guys playing
We have guys playing hard. The effort is better.
game good guys man
We did think about Doyle. He has that old man game that you see with guys like that at 'noon' ball. But it's effective. He's a good player. That's just his style.
allow beat cannot continue good guys head people pressure shoot team
You cannot let guys who can shoot get their head up and get comfortable here at home. You have to continue to disrupt, you cannot let people do what they want to do and we didn't pressure the ball. You're not going to beat a good team when you allow perimeter shooters to get into a rhythm.
guys maximize respect
(Doyle's) got that old man's game. He's effective. I have respect for guys like that who maximize their ability.
career guys happened respect
A lot of things happened in their career they couldn't control, and not one of those guys made excuses. I'll always respect them for that and I'll always respect them for the effort.
bit guys
They are five-star guys who can do a little bit of everything.
advanced ball coaching compared forward guys looking scoring september terms turned
He's probably a little advanced right now in terms of scoring the ball as compared to other guys in our backcourt. But he just turned 18 this September and has a lot to learn. We're just looking forward to coaching him.
chicago eastern fall good guys illinois nine players radar southern
Chicago has so many players, and I've recruited Illinois for nine years at Eastern Illinois and Southern Illinois. Players in Chicago -- really good players -- can fall under the radar because there's so many guys there.
challenges coaching fight guys mammoth mentally personal position ready talk win winning
I don't talk about winning and losing, even if we're the mammoth favorite. I talk about what we have to do to get us in position to win and what we have to do to win. You have to get guys mentally ready and take on personal challenges as a team. We're going to fight them. That's what you have to do as a coaching staff, get them out there to fight them.
expect guys harder step
It's a step backward. You expect your guys to compete, play harder and take a chance.
