Nobody has said they're leaving. |
Not often does a conference champion lose more than a game on their home floor. We're off to a great start on the road. Now we just need to do the same at home. |
Obviously I'm concerned. Normally we play our best basketball this time of year. For whatever reason we're not clicking on all cylinders right now. |
Obviously you'd like to be in a position where you control your own destiny, but you can't. |
Obviously, this has taken on a whole new meaning for me. The approach I've taken this year, and from here on out, will be much different. |
Obviously, we're a better team with Erik. Fortunately, we found that we could survive without him. |
Of the six games we've played without Erik Crawford, this is the game we missed him the most because Stout was in foul trouble. |
On a day like (Saturday), there wasn't much separating us and Drake. We just need to take this (win) and get out of here. |
On most nights, if Crawford and Stout go 4-for-19, we're going to get beat by a lot. |
Our defense gave us a chance. I'm really proud of my team. They didn't quit. |
Our league had unprecedented success, and we deserve to be rewarded for it. I think our four teams will have a good showing in the NCAA Tournament. If we're not fortunate enough to win a couple of games, does that cheapen what has taken place in the last four months? I don't think so. |
Our two games with them were decided by really nothing. |
Part of coaching and playing the game is dealing with adversity. It shows its face in a lot of different ways, and you have to be able to rise above that. That's what our intentions are. |
Part of me could have stayed at Northern Iowa forever and sailed off into the sunset. But the competitive side of me wanted to coach in the Big 12 conference and wanted to attempt to win a championship in the Big 12 conference. |
Priority No. 1 is the Wells Fargo event. |
