I love playing those games. I think they make you better. It keeps young people's egos and dreams alive. I don't think there's any doubt that young people want to play the best. |
I think it's been our schedule on the road. I think we've played pretty well on the road. The only game we've played really poorly on the road is Indian Hills. |
I think we handled it well. I think we're road tough. Five or six of the games we had the lead inside three minutes. I hope we can build on that and learn to finish. |
I think we performed very well in a couple areas, and not very well in others. Physically, we matched up pretty well. But we made some mistakes. |
I thought they deserved some recognition, and some other coaches agreed. |
I would hope this year he's going to be a 30-to-40-catch guy, |
I'm not happy with the 41-14 score. I'm happy that the guys competed as hard as they could. |
I'm sure they're going to come in here awfully fired up and focused. You can't afford to start 0?2. Any time you get a game on the road, it helps in any league. |
If I had to say who the steal of the year was, he might be the steal of the year. |
It seemed like any shot we took in the first quarter, they blocked. Their experience and height showed. |
It was definitely a major goal of mine when I came here to make it to the tournament, make the Final Four and win the national championship. |
It was everywhere. The waste was in the streets. We had dead bodies under houses and in ponds. We thought we were facing severe public health problems. |
It's a big industry, and it's an exciting industry. People throughout the school know that it's a hot industry. |
It's a very tough place to play because they play very well at home. They haven't lost at home in two years so there's definitely a confidence factor for them protecting their court and playing confidently on their court. And all good college basketball teams are supposed to be that way. They've taken their home court and ran with it. |
It's always tough when they leave. The end of the season's always hard anyway. For those four guys in terms of the blood and the sweat and the heart they put into the program . . .. |
