against banging game goes height inside speed
They've only been banging against each other, so I don't know yet. It's very important to have an inside presence. As the game goes on, speed fatigues, but height doesn't shrink.
chance figure free games people plus shoot students win
We figure 7 p.m., people can get there of all ages, they get to the Kohl Center, they see us play some games and have some fun, ... When most people see us only during a game, where it's more intense, and they get a chance to see everybody, plus we get some students out there. They shoot half-court shots, three-point shots, free throws, a chance to win some contests.
games job people position today
We did a much better job today than other games getting in position and getting people off their feet. That's how you get to the line, and then play with the lead.
closed couple free games given lost michigan miss throws
It's kind of like the free throws we've given up. We've lost a couple games because (against) Michigan and Northwestern, they (didn't) miss a free throw down the stretch. We just closed out (a victory) the same way.
confidence familiar games heck home playing shooting true
They're shooting the heck out of it. They got back to some true home games and got some confidence back. There's something to be said for playing before your home crowd, in your familiar surroundings.
ball game
That's the ball game right in that stretch.
taken games two
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.
basketball kids games
I recruit hungry kids who love the game and want to get better and feel they have more questions than answers
feeds feet free games job line matter people position post throw
We try to get to the line a lot, no matter what. We did a much better job than in some other games of getting position and making post feeds and getting people off their feet or out of position. That's how you get to the free throw line.
ball game played
That was the ball game right in that stretch. They played better than we did.
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.
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.
