Right when it left my hand I thought it was good, then I saw it was long. I usually make them. It just didn't go in for me. |
Teams play better without their best player because others have the opportunity to step up and make big plays. They came out trash-talking and playing with confidence. |
That game two years ago, when we won 51-49 there? Yeah, I remember that. It's a tough place to play. But you have to steal a couple on the road (to win the Big Ten). It's going to be a grueling game. But you can't knock 'em off your schedule. You have to show up and play. |
That was what we set out to do, stop Grier. |
That's cool, you should protect your house. It just feels good to get a road win. |
That's one emphasis now - energy, enthusiasm and having fun playing basketball. We have to bring the fun back. . . . We have to continue to play with energy and enthusiasm and we'll be fine. |
That's the thing about James — we need him to rebound the basketball, and he had nine. We need him to come out there and show senior leadership and he did. He's big for us. We need him on the court. We talked about it before the game. We need him in the game. When he got back in, he made his presence known. |
That's the way it goes. We have to focus on basketball. |
That's the way the tournament goes. Wherever they send you, you've just got to go and play. |
The girls have been working very hard. They all have ran for the past four years and will be tremendous assets for our program. |
The Indians knew that life was equated with the earth and its resources, that America was a paradise, and they could not comprehend why the intruders from the East were determined to destroy all that was Indian as well as America itself. |
The numbers are just great. We give the kids another option, and I know the success that we have already had has helped with bringing more in. |
The second half we came out with more intensity. |
The transition game opens up a lot of things. We got a lot of easy baskets. |
The word is really getting out (about Iowa Central cross country). Both teams should be much stronger this year and we have a lot more depth to work with. |
