I think for the most part, winning is always more of an advantage. If you play (in the NCAA Tournament) on Thursday or Friday, and you don't have to travel through too many time zones, I don't think there's any plus in us losing. I didn't feel any better about it (last year). I can guarantee you that. |
I think he's done a great job in a tough situation. |
I think he's done some good things. He made a couple great passes, then he made a couple bad ones, but he's getting better. |
I think he's really improved his three-point shooting and just his awareness of the game. I'd say he is one of the more improved players I've seen in this league. |
I think he's starting to get it. He's starting to see and understand, ?I didn't go hard enough here, I got to be stronger with the ball there.' I think he's seeing it. Before, I think he was hearing it and not seeing it. Now, I think he's hearing it and seeing it. |
I think his team has definitely gotten better since the year started. I think that team could come into next year as the most improved team in the league. |
I think I got kind of a worn-out team right now. I can come up with a lot of different reasons, excuses, but we were just flat-out beat. And I did not think we played with the energy we needed to play. We still hung in there, and then we had the knockout punch of that three-minute span, and Illinois deserves a lot of credit for that. |
I think I've got kind of a worn-out team. We were just flat-out beat. I just don't think we had anything left in us. That Thursday-Saturday noon thing was a joke in my mind and I think most coaches would agree with me. I turned down going to the NBA. I didn't think I'd have back-to-backs (here). |
I think it proves my theory that you just have to be physically and mentally tough as nails. That's been a problem for us. We've tried to address it, and we're going to address it from here on out. |
I think it was more fatigue as far as Drew is concerned. It's hard to expect more (from him). |
I think it was one of the most incredible performances I've seen. |
I think it was the biggest disappointment of all the NCAA games we played in. We didn't have the season we wanted to have. We didn't perform to what I think our capabilities were. I think this is one of the few times in my career here as a head coach that we didn't get done what I think we were capable of getting done, culminating with the lack of a very good performance on that last night. |
I think it's a shame, as good as our league is. |
I think it's really important, for two reasons. No. 1, for the games themselves, and No. 2, so that we don't get a false sense of where we are. |
I think Ohio State deserves a lot of credit. The last four minutes of the game, they played extremely well. I didn't think I'd have to go with a four-guard lineup as much as we did. |
