Every time I turn around, we're talking about another first for this program.

For a kid who doesn't play a lot, Bill has been great.

I thought honestly the game was won when we closed the half out. I thought we took it out of them a little bit. . . . We're a great second-half team so that was huge, getting that five-point lead.

My idea of a European trip is driving to Broad Ripple (High School) or Ben Davis. I've had to find my own niche.

Seventeen points and six rebounds -- that's a typical Brandon Cole night, and the way I'll always remember him. He's been the rock and the foundation for this program. It's going to be difficult to replace that.

The first phase (of development is) always nice. The next phase(s are) not so nice. Instead allowing (the corridor) to develop piecemeal, why not hold out (for someone) who can develop the whole area?

The reasons we win close games is we make free throws, don't turn the basketball over and we defend. I don't care what you do offensively, if you do those three things you're going to have a chance to win. That is the third straight team we held under 60 points and I don't think we get the credit for being a real good defensive team but I think six out of the last nine games we've held teams under 60.

There wasn't a whole lot of talk about us. We knew we were a good team. I said in September that this is the best team I've had at IUPUI. We're peaking at the right time. Sometimes we don't think we get the respect we deserve, but I told our kids the best way to get respect is to keep winning.

They're playing good basketball and are one of the top three or four teams in the league.

We don't have an inside game, so we really rely on perimeter shooting. Coupled with how many free throws we missed, that's the ballgame.

We finally got him healthy and thought he was going to play a lot tonight. But he must've had food poisoning or something like that.
|
We lost the game in the first half. We made adjustments and came back in the second half, but just ran out of time.
|
We're trying to win a championship. We've got five steps. This was the fifth one. We took care of it, and we feel like we've got four more steps to go.
|
We've been in close games and I think we are 6-1 in them and that is the difference in the two basketball teams. Our kids know how to finish games.
|
We've got every excuse for why things shouldn't be going right for us, but we refuse to use them. Our kids think we have the best gym going, and one thing about it: It's ours.
