decided games last lost played playing step win
Last year, we played 12 games that were decided in the last 90 seconds, and we lost 11 of 12. If we win a game when we're not playing well, it's a step in the right direction.
kids recruiting spend time understand
Shooters are shooters. We've got to keep recruiting shooters and we've got to keep getting our kids to understand how much time they have to spend on their shot.
certain defense finally
I finally think they get it. When you've experienced something by doing that certain thing consistently well - defense - they get it.
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.
best defend defensive games reason win
The reason we were able to win is that we did defend very well. It was one of our best defensive games of the year.
behind defensive games good putting quality
We're not putting this one behind us. I'm not so into the standings and all of that. I'm into the quality of play, and for two games in a row, our defensive quality of play was not good enough.

It's a huge win, no matter how you slice it. This game doesn't turn our program around, but it's a step in the right direction.

It's the craziest thing I've ever been around. I've never been on a team, coach or player, where this has happened. I just hope we can take the positives to Rhode Island and see if we can play good basketball again.

Not surprised. He's a Big Ten veteran. Those are the kinds of guys you build programs around.
becoming finally liked national player serious statement
It makes a statement we're serious about becoming a player on the national level. I would have liked it to have been done two years ago, but that's OK. We can finally say we're going to have a groundbreaking ceremony. I'm so excited.
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.
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.
