drake floor four guys hesitant injury jeff mad minutes practices ready seen
I think he was mad at me for the four minutes he sat. But he practices this hard. You should have seen Monday's practice; he was on the floor right away. A lot of other guys would have been hesitant with the injury that he had. But he was ready to play the Drake game. That's just who Jeff is.
kindness wants
He's kind of evaluating what he wants to do.
elementary final guy walk
It's been an unbelievable thing for me to walk Bruin Walk and walk past Coach Wooden's statue, a guy that when I was in elementary school, it's Coach Wooden winning his final championship, his 10th in 12 years.
guess helped last nice playing team time
Northwestern hasn't helped us in a long, long time ... so I guess it'd be nice if they would help. You have a lot of interesting games. Every team is playing for something here in this last week.
coach continued family forward head iowa love program season second success ten tournament
I'm the head coach at Iowa. My family and I love the Iowa program and the community. We had a record-setting season with a second Big Ten Tournament championship, and I look forward to continued success with this program.
coaches good home players question
There's no question I don't think it's a very good thing when coaches or players get booed by the home crowd. That's never something that's positive.
locked minimum ncaa seven solid teams
Right now we've got seven really solid teams that have probably locked up NCAA bids. I think we've got a minimum of seven right now.
few
Hopefully, something will be done in a few weeks.
good start
I thought this was a good way to start the tournament.
beat felt good start tough
I never felt like we were in it. They are very good at the start of each half, that's their staple. We weren't very good, and they were awfully good and they're tough to beat here when they play that way.
difficult games hard homes league losing played regardless risk road run shots top win
It's very difficult to win road games, but it's hard to win homes games (too). If, all of a sudden, you don't play well -- a game where you don't make shots or where you're not on top of your game defensively -- you really run the risk of losing regardless of where the game is being played ... This league is very demanding, very difficult.
excited guys
I think the guys are excited about what they've done.
absolutely beat beats highest loves special
That's what's special about Jeff. He's not going to beat you because he's the strongest, fastest, quickest, highest jumper out there. He beats you because of his will to win. He absolutely loves to compete.
last leave legacy work year
The legacy (the seniors) leave will last long after this year is over. But we still have a lot of work to do.
