call looked responsibility saw taking transition
Normally, I call a timeout in that situation. I am taking responsibility for that. I saw a transition and Sterling going, and that is his strength. It looked like he was going to be able to get to the hole, but it just did not happen. I should have called a timeout.
ball clearly court home pushing teams transition whatever
Teams are better in transition at home, at least that's what I've noticed. At least we are. We are clearly better at home pushing the ball up and down the court for whatever reason.
interested people
Not that many people interested in Northwestern and Purdue, huh?
bothered came guards handle pressure
They just came after us and we weren't able to handle it. Their pressure on our guards really bothered us.
beat glad good needed team
I'm glad we beat a really good team tonight. We really needed this.
seemed
It seemed like he was all over the court.
aggressive bang guys open spaces wide
They were the aggressive team. They have some guys that like to bang in there and we have guys that like wide open spaces - the prairie guys.
anybody anyone
Don't tell anybody how we did it. I don't want anyone else to know.
against last shooting shot team worst
We're the worst three-point shooting team in the league. We shot 31 against them last time. We said we weren't going to do that again.
continue dog fourth guy kid might recruit schools ten third top tough true
At Northwestern I have to continue to do it. If there's a kid in the Midwest, for instance, and other schools in the Big Ten want him, I might be the third or fourth guy on the list. I'm not getting kids, so I have to go elsewhere. That's true in the other conferences. If you're not the top dog then it's tough to recruit the same area, so I have to go elsewhere.
couple game simplified start
At the start of the game we simplified (the offense), just went with a couple things. But when they weren't working, we probably went to some pipe-dream things.
hurt
Dillon made big play after big play for them. He really hurt us tonight.
full responsibility upset
I should have called a timeout. I'm upset with myself. I take full responsibility. I have to make that call.
replace
I've said and I still say they are the surprise, to me, of this conference, that they are doing what they're doing. They had to replace so many people. They're still overachieving in my view.
