We are where we are and we go to the next game. I'll let other people judge whether that's good, bad or indifferent because they're all entitled to their opinion. |
We are where we are and we go to the next game. I'll let other people judge whether that's good, bad or indifferent because they're all entitled to their opinion. I'm just getting ready for Northwestern. |
We did a much better job today than other games getting in position and getting people off their feet. That's how you get to the line, and then play with the lead. |
We didn't move well, but when you do get a look you've got to make something happen. We had some drives to the basket where we shot some floaters - shots that I've never seen before. You can't get those back. |
We figure 7 p.m., people can get there of all ages, they get to the Kohl Center, they see us play some games and have some fun, ... When most people see us only during a game, where it's more intense, and they get a chance to see everybody, plus we get some students out there. They shoot half-court shots, three-point shots, free throws, a chance to win some contests. |
We got to the dance. Did some guys play older? Yeah, they did. We got some great contributions. Was it consistent? No. But we're not here if we don't get those contributions. |
We had a chance down the stretch. Look at the stats from the second half compared to the first. I like the shots we were getting. They were all pretty good shots. |
We have played three straight NCAA Tournament teams in fairly hostile environments. |
We just couldn't figure things out in the first part of the second half. We figured it out, but couldn't do it physically. |
We needed to have those guys on the floor when we had Indiana missing shots and they were struggling for a while. We needed to have our strength out there...and maybe open it up to 10, 15 points in our favor, knowing they'd make a run in the second half. |
We played him similar to a lot of ways other teams have played him, or tried to. He's still 5-for-10 (shooting), he still gets in double figures, pretty close to a double-double. He's a good player. I was glad he got into foul trouble. |
We saw this coming. Purdue has been playing well. They just haven't finished a game. Tonight, they did. For us to win, we have to shoot a better percentage than 38.2. |
We thought it would be a competitive league, it is a competitive league. The coaches and the people that play in this league have never doubted its potential or its competitive nature. ... It's a tough league. |
We try to get to the line a lot, no matter what. We did a much better job than in some other games of getting position and making post feeds and getting people off their feet or out of position. That's how you get to the free throw line. |
We won't spend a whole lot of time with it. If there were shots that we don't normally take maybe, but ... I edited out five shots (on the game film). Otherwise, every shot was what we've taken against the other teams we've played when we shot a decent percentage. |
