both causes compete country floor four game hard lose matt painter played plays starters teams
It was a game where I thought both teams played hard. I think Matt Painter is doing a just unbelievable job. You lose four starters and you can still put a team on the floor that competes and plays hard and causes problems. I don't know another team in the country that can lose four starters and compete at all.
came character game punched recover seen team type
I never seen this coming. You know, I never seen this type of game coming, especially the kind of team we are, the kind of character we have. But, you know, you never say 'never.' They came out and they just punched us. We didn't recover from it.
came game road trust win
To win a road game for us in incredible, trust me. It came at the right time.
best game played
A.J. probably played his best game in the first half.
best game score tough
He doesn't have to score for them to win. He's one of the best in our league, if not the best, at getting things done. We know it's going to be a tough game because of him.
bring coach disrespect players
I feel like that is disrespect for me as a coach. If I can bring players in recruiting-wise, why can't I coach them?
against chris game guys hunter played tournament
Lester Abram is a 15-, 16-point guy. Chris Hunter is a seven- or eight-point guy. Hopefully, he'll have his guys back by tournament time, and they'll be very good. Every game I've played against him, somebody's been out. Every game.
best duke played team
This is the best team -- other than Duke -- that we've played to this point.
best coach job league matt painter players
Matt Painter has done probably the best job of any coach in our league when you look at the players he lost.
ball basically bobby gets ground helping open rolling
Bobby is basically getting it off the ground for me, helping get it started. But once the ball gets rolling and we open up, it is pretty much going to be on me.
best credit good missed open players
You can't take credit for guarding Dee Brown. He's one of the best players in our league. I think he just missed some open shots, but he still had 11 assists. We can't take credit for that because Dee is an awfully good player.
good player
Slaughter I know is a very good player for them.
against change game hoping illinois liked michigan played since
I'm hoping that the lineup change will get our mind-set going in the right direction. I haven't liked the way we've played since the Michigan game (Jan. 3). We played well defensively against Illinois and that's about it.
against areas best cannot good job league offensive points score
First of all, we have to get back in transition, and we have to keep them off the offensive glass. They are probably the best in our league at those two things. It is going to be important for us to do a good job in those areas because they scored over 80 points against us. We cannot let them score 80 points this time.
