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.
ball game played
That was the ball game right in that stretch. They played better than we did.
close double foul gets glad good played similar teams tried ways
We played him similar to a lot of ways other teams have played him, or tried to. He's still 5-for-10 (shooting), he still gets in double figures, pretty close to a double-double. He's a good player. I was glad he got into foul trouble.

The players here represent the university and they represent the players who have played here. Everyone knows that when you're part of something good, the tendency to give in or to stop working is tougher,

We have played three straight NCAA Tournament teams in fairly hostile environments.

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.
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.
coaching college coming continue early good helps hopefully hungry played stay three
All three played in pretty good (high school) programs, and that always helps coming into a college situation. But being the first practice, it's still too early to get a read on the freshmen. They're attentive, they're hungry, they have good instincts, they've had good coaching and hopefully they'll continue to stay hungry and continue to get good coaching.
bench filled great guys played players
Their bench players filled in great for their big guys and played better than their starters.
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.
guys people remember time wisconsin
These young guys get to live in their moment. I don't know what people remember about Wisconsin or what people remember about Arizona. Everyone is in their own time warp.
everybody floor medical practice staff training
Everything was just the way our training staff and medical staff had it planned. He was on the practice floor doing the things everybody else was doing.
best coming guys heck lost playing sure
Right now, they're playing their best basketball. They're coming in with a heck of a lot of confidence. What our guys better do is make sure they haven't lost any.
advantage basketball effort energy freshman gets good guy minute passes people playing recognize takes team uplifting
People that know basketball recognize effort opportunities that a guy takes advantage of and he's done that every minute he's been on the floor. Here's a freshman that's come in an really chipped in on the glass, defensively, making good passes and playing with a lot of energy and kind of uplifting the team when he gets on the floor.
