To lose a major proverb

 To lose a major tournament, it's quite compelling,

 We've got a major tournament in India, a major tournament in the West Indies, and the VB Series in Australia so we have to evolve a bowling attack that can win in three different continents.

 The only kinds of fights worth fighting are those you are going to lose, because somebody has to fight them and lose and lose and lose until someday, somebody who believes as you do wins. In order for somebody to win an important, major fight 100 years hence, a lot of other people have got to be willing - for the sheer fun and joy of it - to go right ahead and fight, knowing you're going to lose. You mustn't feel like a martyr. You've got to enjoy it.

 The tournament is very open. People saw that we played a lot of people in the SEC, and when we did lose games, we didn't lose them bad -- like by one or two points. So, we were in every game. We have a lot of confidence going into this tournament.

 One of the biggest things to stop is momentum. There are always teams that can get on a roll. Some people say that if you have won 15 games in a row, it's good to take a loss into the (NCAA) tournament. Other people say that if you lose a game, your confidence level is lower, that you are not going into the tournament playing your best. I always say that just because you lose, you can still play well. You can get beat by a better team.

 If you three-putt to lose a tournament, it sticks with you. If you hit it in water to lose a tournament, it's no big deal. You can always say it was a bad shot or a bad (course) design or whatever. If you three-putt, you feel like a total jackass, because nobody should three-putt. Then it's just kind of nerves taking over.

 We want to make it through the tournament. Everybody can be in the tournament, but you're not really in the tournament until you win a game. We know right now that if we lose we go home.

 That's very compelling to major groups, the fact that we can entertain groups on site without them having to go over the city. Groups like our meeting space because there's not a lot to divert their attention. We're not across from a major mall where they can get out to avoid attending meetings.

 It might have been the way we finished up the regular season. We made a major run in the tournament. I don't think it had anything to do with the Big East tournament.

 We're gong to stay very positive. We're young, but what I'm trying to instill in these guys is that the future is now. We can make it happen now. If we reach our goal and get six more wins, that would put us at 20-9 and .500 in the league (8-8). Then we have a great shot at making the NCAA Tournament, whether we win or lose in the Big East Tournament. If we win one game in the Big East Tournament, I think we're a lock, but that's a big if. But if we can play like we did against Villanova, it's certainly possible.

 It's an extraordinarily compelling page turner that also happens to be a major work of literature.

 This is a great tournament. That's something the tournament committee needs to take a look at. Maybe there needs to be a radius in miles (from campus) or something. But I don't for one second want that to sound like the reason we lose the game. It's not.

 There's no way we should lose by 20 in an NCAA tournament game. No way. The front of our jersey says Wisconsin and we let everybody down. We put effort in out there but you just can't lose by 20.

 At this tournament, it doesn't matter what your record is. Nothing matters. It's just that one game, and either you win or you lose. If you lose, you're done. We had to keep working hard. We knew we had it in us.

 I don't think another interest group in Durham has as compelling a membership roster as the Durham Committee, or as compelling a history. So I take it seriously as a compelling endorsement. I don't have any hesitation because one of the things the committee does is, it doesn't always go with what appears to be the mainstream view.
