beat chance coming drive minutes ncaa parents players sister
My parents and sister can drive 15 minutes and see the game, so you can't beat that. Coming back is great, but it's really about our players getting a chance to play in the NCAA tournament.
coaching guys likes man player staff works
I see in him a young man that's always wanted to be a Badger, works hard, listens, makes the other guys better in practice, just does all the things a coaching staff likes to see a player do.
atmosphere bring chance energy experience fans gives high interested people program replace school students team
Over the years we've wanted to bring in high school people-not just players-but people who are interested in our team and our program that can't get tickets, they can't see us in the Kohl Center, so this is an opportunity, as well as our scrimmage on Oct. 30, the Red-White scrimmage, ... This doesn't replace that. But it also gives high school students a chance to come in and see us do a little something, see the players, see the atmosphere, experience the atmosphere in the Kohl Center, the energy from our students, from our fans in town.

If that's all part of it, so be it. What we know is that ... we've just got to do things better than them in order to get it done, in order to play again in the next game.

force gets good line
He didn't force anything, and he gets a double-double. That's a good line for Brian. It's a good line for anybody.
plan player playing possibly post
He'll be able to play as a post player and a perimeter player. That equates to a four, possibly a three, but at this time, we don't plan on playing him as a five.
conference finding good guards natural point
There are so many good guards in the conference that if you don't have one like Devin, you'll get buried. He's finding out that he's a natural for the point position.
great guys
We got to the dance. Did some guys play older? Yeah, they did. We got some great contributions. Was it consistent? No. But we're not here if we don't get those contributions.
years trying indiana
Going into Indianapolis, playing Indiana, I guess bring it on. It's what we've caught at the end of the year, and we've got to try to make the best of it.
way shame
It's just a shame that it had to be played that way.

Four turnovers. Two assists. I told him he'd have the game ball if he had taken care of the ball a little bit better.
