advice advise jason kid might questions second
He might be only the second kid (after Jason Richardson) I would advise to do that, just because, that way, there'd be no questions unanswered.
brown cramp gets guy question
Guy gets a cramp ? that's no big deal. Is that something that's a day-to-day thing? No. There's one thing you should never question on Shannon Brown and that's his heart.
allowed guess question
The officiating, I question it. I really do. I question it. I guess I'm allowed to say that.
basketball build coast establish growing hurt moving ourselves question sites spot watching
After watching (Atlantic Coast Conference) basketball growing up, when they started moving that thing to different sites I thought it hurt more than helped. So that's the only question I would have. Do we need to establish ourselves in a spot and really build on that?
question
There's one thing you should never question with Shannon Brown, and that's his heart.
coming felt game hardest loss next question rivalry
I think the hardest game (of the stretch) is the one (today). Coming off a rivalry game or a big game, the next game is always tough. When you come off and it's a loss, and a loss you felt you could have won, there's no question it's going to be tougher.
bizarre good hung hurt played sort wisconsin
That was a bizarre game. I thought Wisconsin played very well in the first half, and we just sort of hung in the game. I thought it hurt them when Tucker went out, and I thought we did some good things, too.
forced tried
He probably tried to do too much because he was forced into that position.
iowa played second
I thought Iowa played very solid. In the second half, they played much better defensively.
finally practice
It's kind of nice. They don't like to practice?I do. So they finally get their way.
fatigue zero
Fatigue had zero to do with the loss.
encouraged facts opinion
I have encouraged him to (speak out). My opinion is he has some facts to get straightened out. I don't know if he will or not.
becoming control game growing means player speaks special thrives took volumes
He kind of thrives on pressure, he kind of thrives on big moments. He took control of the game, under control. And that speaks volumes of a player when he can take control of game and do it under control. I think that means the guy's really growing up and becoming a special player.
espn late talk
On ESPN in late February, that's all they talk about.
