I always have had the approach to try to be loose. Last year was probably as tight as we've been going into a tournament and I think a lot of it was we weren't playing well. |
I am most pleased with J.R. and Keith combining for 10 assists and only one turnovers. That's the kind of effort we should get from these guys because people are going to pressure out on these guys, and they are going to have to feed the post. Also, Aaron was as good as he has been all year tonight. |
I believe when you recruit a perimeter player, you're recruiting for him to play one of three spots. |
I called [Pete] to say, 'What's going on? You're calling everybody but me,' ... He told me they were going to reevaluate the situation. I said, 'What's to evaluate? You're either in or you're out.' |
I could see him being one of our leading scorers, |
I didn't know that senator Dole had followed it that close. I was thrilled. He really knew quite a bit about our recruiting. |
I didn't see him play much in high school because we were led to believe we wouldn't have a shot at him. His release has got to get quicker, but his accuracy is far more than I ever expected. |
I didn't think we were as focused as we should be. I don't consider 25 turnovers answering the bell. |
I don't how many lead changes there were or ties, but there were a lot. |
I don't know if one player spurred it (team chemistry) on more than others, but I do think Russell Robinson, from start to finish, has been the heart and soul of our team. |
I don't know if we're obligated to do anything. I will (grant release) because eventually he's going to need to be on aid. There's not an emergency need to give him a release (now) since they have no scholarships. It doesn't do him any good. |
I don't think panic's set in by any means. But in fans' minds, they're thinking it's awful early to be struggling this much. |
I don't think that game has affected him negatively. He's a mature kid, and he's handled it well. He's fine. But I do think that, at least initially, it hurt and hurt bad. |
I don't think that's the case at all. Players and coaches talk that way all the time... about wanting it more. Both teams were playing hard. When two teams are playing hard, it comes down to execution, and Bradley did a better job of that. |
I don't think they got many open looks at the basket. But, even when you shoot bad, you're going to make five of them. But, I thought we really played hard out there. Some of the guys didn't play well, but they played hard. |
