We had a 10-minute blip. For those 10 minutes, there was a little insanity out there. |
We had enough of a lead. At least one of those was a serious horse shot — it was to beat the clock and it went in. We just had to negotiate getting the ball in and making the free throws. |
We had the opportunity to work on things, play a combination of players, and adjust our defense, especially in the second half. |
We had to beat Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan State and Purdue in a row to win the Big Ten. I think we had maybe a collective sigh of relief Thursday. I think the sigh lasted about 48 hours and one half. |
We have a three-second play, and it involves Davenport at the other end of the court. That's not coaching genius. |
We have found that setting up tests in other languages, four tests each for six grades, the cost and effort would be prohibitive. |
We just didn't push the tempo and they made their shots. We were walking the ball up and we were slow with our actions. |
We just had a bad first half, ... In the second half we were a different team, a much better team. |
We know what happened the first 10 minutes, and we know what happened the last 30. I try to focus on the 30 because that's what makes us a good basketball team. |
We played average. We were lucky to get two out of three. We could have easily lost Saturday's game. The team isn't there yet but they'll get there. |
We played unselfish and we played hard. Those are two very good attributes to have in a game. |
We practice very intense and when it's game time the players go out on the field and do their job. The hardest we work is when we practice. |
We scored a couple of times and that got us going again. |
We started moving the ball better in the second half. |
We stopped being a sieve on the glass. We started to take responsibility for boxing out. |
