absolutely baffling critical days extra hate love name nights possible post shot tape watch worked worse
I'm going to be really critical of myself when I watch tape to see how in the Lord's name did we not get him a shot at the rim somehow. What's baffling is we worked extra (in practice) on getting him the ball, and he didn't get one shot at the rim. There are days when I absolutely love what I do and days when I hate it. Right now, I hate it. We worked on making the post feed, and the more we tried, the worse it got. It was one of those nights when everything possible could go wrong.
ten
Not at all. He's a Big Ten veteran.
both care complete conference conversion defensive ends establish good offense quality tournament
I want to establish quality on both ends of the floor. It's very important going into the conference tournament that we're not just good on offense, but also good on defense. We have to have a better defensive conversion (from offense to defense), we need to take care of the ball. I need to see a complete performance.
build guys kinds programs ten
Not surprised. He's a Big Ten veteran. Those are the kinds of guys you build programs around.
coaches discussion point together
That has to be the No. 1 point of discussion when the A-10 coaches get together after the season.
ears good gotten hoping past plan players totally
We'll keep our ears open, but nothing is pending. I really was hoping to get him. I don't have a plan B. That's not totally unusual. We've gotten good players in the past in the summer, but it's not ideal.
biggest flew happy mission season win
This was the biggest win of the season for us. I'm happy with our players. When we flew in here they had a mission about them and wanted to play well and they did not back down.
against basketball free glass good high junior mattered observer outside people played road shot sound sure team throw tough turned
This will sound a little strange, but we did not play good basketball tonight. I'm sure that the outside observer will say they really played tough against a top-ranked team on the road and blah, blah, blah. We turned it over 20 times. We were not able to keep people off the glass when it mattered most. And we shot like a junior high team from the free throw line.
error lose lucky seen shot simple smith win
We got lucky, it's as simple as that. You win some, you lose some. I've seen that shot by Smith go in many, many times, and we got lucky because we made an error in coverage.
kid time
First time I'd ever subbed a kid in and out before he played.
bit figured missouri saying
They have figured it out. We're every bit as good, but we haven't figured it out. I'm not saying we're better than the Missouri Valley, but we're every bit as good.
found good lose reason sign tonight win
They had every reason to lose tonight and they found a way to win and that's the sign of a good team.
focus games good maybe quality team wins
It's just disappointing. I don't really have good answers. ... Maybe I will (feel good about what the team has done) at the end of the year. I don't feel good right now. The quality of our play hasn't been good for two games in a row. That's my measuring stick. You focus on the quality and the wins come.
came last left ready summer
I told Ian when he left last summer that he had to come back ready to be the centerpiece of our offense. He not only wanted it, but he came back here to do it.
