I think a true conference schedule, with as good a league as we have – we lead the nation in attendance, we have great fans – I just think that equal home and away games with every team is still the best venue. But that's just conversation blowing in the wind. |
I think if you change lineups, a lot of times that's something temporary. I think it also sends a message to one or two individuals that you're responsible for us not maybe doing some things right now. So I've never done that. |
I think the way people are talking about how we're going to be is very exciting, ... And If you're a basketball fan you want to ask, 'How's this guy going to look?' |
I think they made a statement that it's been a pretty good season for such a young group. |
I think they're hungry and ready to go after another one and keep playing. |
I thought we got some pretty good looks and got the ball through (the hoop), and that's what we needed. |
I'd say that roster is looking pretty good. Tommy's got them playing. They know what they have. We know what they have. We know what we're going to have to do to go in there and get one. Try to execute. |
I'll enjoy the experience as much as possible, but we're here to take care of business on the court. But it is neat to be here. |
I'm not making excuses or apologies for how this team played. Penn State is the only team as young as us in the (Big Ten Conference). We played in the NCAA tournament. We just got bumped and our guys earned our way here....I certainly liked the way they played. |
I'm still looking for that perfect game. I'm not trading him, though. |
I've had that said to me a lot, that I'm good at working a room, ... There are people who have questions they want to ask me. If I stand in a corner somewhere, how is that perceived? That's perceived as me thinking I know everything. I don't know everything. Far from it. I'm willing to learn. That's why I'm not bashful about mixing with people. |
If that's all part of it, so be it. What we know is that ... we've just got to do things better than them in order to get it done, in order to play again in the next game. |
If you don't show some patience against Northwestern, they'll just eat you up. You'll be scratching your head wondering what happened. |
It had to be fun to watch if you could just sit back and watch the game. His energy was everywhere. |
It was a hard-fought game. Our guys got some pretty good looks. We won the battle over the grabs and we won the turnover battle. We didn't get it done where it mattered, and that is the score. |
