We missed (21) straight shots. You can't win games if you go through stretches like that. I don't know what the cause of it was. We had a lot of open shots but they just wouldn't go in. I guess that is how it is sometimes in the NBA. We just couldn't hit a thing. We were even going to the free-throw line and missed shots from there.
We had a great team this year. A lot of people talked about us being good next year, but we thought we could make a run deep in the tournament this year, so it's tough to take.
We have a bunch of guys on this team who want to be here and everybody has confidence in each other. It's not like we're going out every game hoping that we can win. I think we're going into every game now with the confidence pretty much knowing that we can win.
We really buckled down when we had to. I think P.J. Brown 's steal was the play of the game.
I'm anxious to see what the atmosphere's going to be like, ... It was pretty wild for the preseason games, but I'm sure they were saving some things for the opening night. I have no clue what it's going to be like. I just can't wait.
We're just trying to adjust to not having him out there.
It gives the team a lot of momentum. Guys are just playing with confidence day in and day out.
Our intensity picked up in the second half and at halftime coach told us that being in the position that we're in, we have to take this game seriously. I thought we buckled down defensively in the second half. We talked more. We got deflections. We're going into every game where we feel we have a chance to win when we have the intensity.
I felt like it but it doesn't matter. They call it how they see it and that's their job. Our job is to try to score points.
We told our kids that anything's possible. I'd be lying to you if I looked you in the eye and said we were going to come out here and beat Purdue. That's a great basketball team we just played.
I was in the process of having a house built in English Turn,
We are digging ourselves a big hole in these games. Maybe what we need is to have a reality check, and fall out of the playoffs, and (realize) that the playoffs can be taken away from us.
We are really trying to make a run to the playoffs right now. I feel like if we just win and take care of that stuff, those accolades will come.
We were here a couple of days early, so I went over to a gym with him and we took shots and he didn't miss many. If you leave him open, you're in trouble. So the best bet is not to leave him open.
