fairly help hostile ncaa played season straight teams three tournament
At the end of the season here, we know we played three straight NCAA Tournament teams in fairly hostile environments. If that doesn't help you get ready, I don't know what does.
biggest guys key realize
That's been the biggest key so far. Our young guys realize it is a transition.
bumped certainly earned excuses guys liked ncaa penn played state team ten
I'm not making excuses or apologies for how this team played. Penn State is the only team as young as us in the (Big Ten Conference). We played in the NCAA tournament. We just got bumped and our guys earned our way here....I certainly liked the way they played.
against eat head patience wondering
If you don't show some patience against Northwestern, they'll just eat you up. You'll be scratching your head wondering what happened.
anybody excuse fairness guys knows protect quick seen wish
I like to protect my players, but I don't like to make excuses. (But) I think anybody that's seen our guys knows that was way too quick (of) a turnaround. And, in all fairness to them, I just wish they could have had some more time. But, they didn't.
against care ncaa players three tournament
I like it for these players who are working so hard, to take care of these three against NCAA Tournament teams.
bit maybe past staff talked training
Not that I've seen. Maybe every once in a while our training staff just talked to him a little bit to make sure, 'What are you feeling?' But they've done that in the past with other guys, too, that have had injuries.
against ball basket eat five happen knocked patience remember seconds shots struggling
The ball went in the basket and they were struggling at that point. We knocked some shots down and then we were a little more patient. Sometimes we have to remember it isn't all going to happen in five seconds. It can happen in 18 seconds on a possession. If you don't show some patience against Northwestern, they'll eat you up.
saying
As I've been saying all along, they just have to play a little older,
early freshmen guy juniors mature saying
As I've been saying all along, they have to play a little older. Each guy is going to have to mature just a little quicker. Sophomores need to play like juniors and juniors need to play like seniors. And freshmen need to play like second-semester freshmen early on.
freshman good necessity needed played
Don't know yet. Sometimes it's out of necessity that you play a freshman right away. Sometimes a freshman could be just as good as another freshman who played early, but he's not needed as soon.
good knew
Not at all. No way. We knew they were a good team.
battle good guys won
It was a hard-fought game. Our guys got some pretty good looks. We won the battle over the grabs and we won the turnover battle. We didn't get it done where it mattered, and that is the score.
easy listens somebody talking vice
It's very easy to communicate with them because somebody's talking and somebody listens and vice versa,
