focus game trying
I said it. But we're just trying to focus on the game here.
coach davis focused next trying worried
Right now, I don't care. We're trying to win. That's all we 're focused on. We're not worried about who's going to be the next coach. Coach (Mike) Davis is our coach now. That's all that matters.
both games trying wins
Those are two big games for us trying to get to the tournament. We need both of those wins to get in.
feels season trying
I know D.J. (White) feels the same way; I don't know about the others. I try not to think about all those things right now. We have a season that we're still playing, and we're trying to make it to the (NCAA) Tournament.
goes good hopefully playing season somewhere trying worried
Hopefully he can get a job, and if he goes somewhere that's good enough for me, I'll be there with him.. I'm trying not to think about all these things right now. We've got a season we're still playing in and we're trying to make it to the (NCAA) tournament. That's all I'm worried about.
best came coach leaving options reason season stay trying weigh worried
My coach is leaving and that wasn't the only reason, but that was a very big reason why I came here. I don't think it would be best for me to stay here. I think it would be best for me to weigh my options and look elsewhere. I try not to think about all of these things right now. We've got a season that we're still playing, we're trying to make the (NCAA) tournament, and that's all I'm worried about.
hitting knocking looks open start
I think we had some open shots, some open looks -- we just weren't knocking them down. All we did was start hitting some open shots.
earned respect sixth
I think we earned some respect by getting a sixth seed. And if we didn't, we'll go out and try to earn some more.
business care difficult everywhere extra fans great home job road seems tough winning
Our fans do a great job of making this a tough place to play, and it's just so important that you take care of business at home. Winning at home is extra important in the Big Ten, because everywhere we go it seems like it's very difficult to get road wins.
contain open player plays similar tough
I think he's similar to (Daniel) Horton, from Michigan. He plays like him. I know he's going to take a lot of tough shots. You've got to be there to contest, don't give him any open looks. He's a scorer, and a big-time player in his conference. We have to go out there and try to contain him.
forward games minutes played power
Most of the games I started at the three, but I played like 30 minutes at the power forward spot.
basically came forced guy loved
Why wouldn't you be pissed if a guy you loved and came to play for is basically forced to resign?
looking
Marco was off. I was just looking to shoot.
afraid last love marshall player playing tougher win
Marshall is a tougher player than last year. I love playing with him because he's not afraid to try to win the game.
