I appreciate that from the media standpoint, especially our local media. I think it would have really been taking away from what our young men are doing.

Both Alex and Carlton expressed their desire to explore other options. We wish them well and will provide assistance as they search for a better fit.
appreciate great resolve respond tough
That's what I appreciate the most about our guys. They've really got great resiliency and resolve about them. They know how to respond after a tough setback.
frustrated today
They've been frustrated because they haven't been making shots. Today they made those shots.
allowed amazing changing contact good question rules seems stay text trying whether
There's no question text-messaging recruits is very valuable. That's something that's changed. It's amazing how rules keep changing and it seems like the rules keep trying to keep up with technology, whether it be e-mails or text messaging, but that's one thing in the rules where we're allowed to stay in pretty good contact with people.

This gives us a chance to get some rest. It's been a long grind for us. So we want to take complete advantage of the break.
jeff pain phenomenal second
I know Jeff was very much in pain. But he was phenomenal in the second half.
challenged choice field half rebounds team
I challenged Bru as much as I have ever challenged him at halftime. A first team all-league choice doesn't come in at the half with no rebounds and no field goals. He responded.

Just having to learn to play with the brace, that's probably the most cumbersome thing. He's going to have to wear it until mid-February.
game uptight win
This is probably the most uptight I've been all season. Just because you wanted to win this game so bad.
game next nice road start success ten
This is not a make-or-break game, but it is a game that is very important to us. It would be nice to actually have some success (on the road) before we start the Big Ten on the road next week.
bob sit sure talks
I'm sure Bob and I will sit down and have some talks soon. That's just something we haven't done yet.
goes opens percent
It goes without being said how important he is to our offense. Him being 100 percent opens things up for us defensively.
