beat believe chance confident hope kids respect win
As much respect as I have for Indiana, they're good. They're not significantly better than we are. And I know that, and our kids will believe me when I tell them that. Can they beat us? Absolutely. Will they beat us? I hope not. If we play well, we will have a chance to win the game, and I'm confident of that.
ball behind bring guys help helpful maybe mentally points score seven six
Maybe the most important thing is they have more help around them. They don't have to feel if they get behind by six or seven points that they have to bring us back. We have other guys who can score the ball and that has been mentally helpful for the team.
deal less move perfect somebody
I've said before that this is a family. We're all less than perfect and we've all done things that somebody has to say, 'Hey, that's not right.' You deal with it and move on, and that's what we have done.
atmosphere cutting group heath net remember rewarding tonight tough turmoil
It is so rewarding for all of us to see the atmosphere that we had tonight and to remember how it was even before the (Brandon Heath and Marcus Slaughter) group got here. To go through turmoil and tough times, that makes the reward of cutting down the net all the more enjoyable.
extremely hard season
These are hard, hard losses. To end the season the way we did is extremely difficult.
clearance fairly given looked uncertain
It's still uncertain as we speak. He has been able to do some things that looked fairly impressive. And yet he has still not been given clearance (for games).
difficult last question three
There's no question that when he's out there, especially after the last two or three games, he makes us a whole lot better. Because we become much more difficult to guard.
basket becomes break caught hot possession pressure puts quickly score stretch team
Brandon was the difference. That stretch where he got basket after basket got us some separation. It puts a lot of pressure on the other team to score quickly and every possession becomes magnified. We caught a break with the way he got that hot hand.
chose conference creature days eight game habit last rather ready routine stay
This was my doing. Rather than having eight days between our last game and the conference tournament, I chose to play another game. I'm a creature of habit and I'd rather have a routine that I stay in. Now, we better be ready (tonight). We have to be prepared.
confident good season shooting shot team utah
We've been a good shooting team all season long. I am confident we will shoot here the way we shot when we (beat) Utah (Jan. 14).
counting field next thrilled time
We're thrilled to be part of the field and we're counting on being part of the field this time next week.
ability colorado concerns dictate games hard pace places race score shots state sure ways
We had two down-to-the-wire games with (CSU). Colorado State makes shots and makes hard shots. They have the ability to score in a lot of places and a lot of ways and that concerns me. We have to make sure we dictate the pace by guarding hard. We can't have a race to 100 points. We have to guard.
allow guard hard league pay points team time win
We had a hard time guarding, especially in the post. They made us pay when we didn't guard particularly well. You're not going to win when you allow a team to get 100 points in a league game.
added adjust anxious areas college kids life players quality quickly
We have added quality kids and quality players in areas of need. We're anxious to see how quickly they adjust to everything about college life and college athletics.
