four guys points ranked score six three
At the end there, if we score on the three or four possessions when we had a shot, we could have got it to three or four points ... who knows? When you come into a ranked opponent's gym, and you're in that kind of a position, you get it down to six or so and it's doable. You need some help, but our guys battled to that point.

When you have Dee Brown and James Augustine, two guys who have been through so much a post and a point. There's a lot of coaches who firmly believe that ... in basketball, if you have a post and a point you can compete on that day with anybody.
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.
floor guys indiana knowing maybe missing needed open points run second shots strength struggling
We needed to have those guys on the floor when we had Indiana missing shots and they were struggling for a while. We needed to have our strength out there...and maybe open it up to 10, 15 points in our favor, knowing they'd make a run in the second half.
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.
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.
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.

I had to smile because if we're doing that at midnight, those kids aren't there,
eventually guys impose somebody wear
I like the way our guys are executing. Then sometimes if somebody is quicker, bigger, stronger, eventually they'll wear you down and they'll impose their will, especially on the road.
ask bashful corner far good mixing people perceived questions stand thinking willing
I've had that said to me a lot, that I'm good at working a room, ... There are people who have questions they want to ask me. If I stand in a corner somewhere, how is that perceived? That's perceived as me thinking I know everything. I don't know everything. Far from it. I'm willing to learn. That's why I'm not bashful about mixing with people.
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.
