basketball college concerns easiest kid perception understand understanding
I understand people's concerns and I understand the perception of things, and I don't like it because I don't want any kid ever to leave. It comes to maturity, and comes to understanding college basketball isn't the easiest thing in the world.
ability defend determined easy game inability run second start stay
The run that really determined the game was to start the second half. Their easy baskets off turnovers and our inability to defend them. And then our ability to stay out of our way a lot of times.
four good guess guy late martin people please pleased pleasing steals stretch wants
The thing I like about Martin's play was his defense. I thought with his four steals and his very good defense, particularly in that stretch where we went on that late run, was very important. Martin is a pleasing guy and he wants to please everybody. He had people here and he's from here and my guess is he pleased them all.
bought fight kids start
The thing about being here, is if kids fight you, and they all fight you to start with, but if kids fight you, then it's difficult. I can always tell when a kid has really bought into what we're all doing, and when they do that, they become special.
basketball far mature playing team
At the end of the day, they were a far more mature team playing basketball than we were.
came game hit miami played shots
At the end of the day I thought Miami just played really well, I really did. I thought Miami came out to play well, they hit their shots and we didn't have the game in control.
anyone good
That's a very good team. They're as good as anyone around. They got more shots, got on the glass, and were just better.
basketball coach coached indiana
I tell kids, I'm not going to coach you like a 'mid-major' basketball player. You're going to be coached like Indiana when I was there.
We couldn't get out of our own way.
area deep eight scoring short
We get down like that and we're not deep enough in the area of scoring to compete. We're short right now with eight scholarship players.
anybody basketball brought compete game guys helped talked until
We substituted and we didn't get much out of that. We talked before the game about how guys are going to have to come in and really compete and I didn't think anybody we brought into the basketball game, until the end of the game, helped us.
good kids people team
Toledo was good, very good. I thought our kids competed, but we made too many mistakes. That's what Toledo has been doing to people in this building. Sometimes you just have to give the other team credit. Toledo has been very good defensively of late.
free game heart late matt shows sitting steps throws
Matt shows you the heart he has by the free throws he makes late in the game after sitting on the bench. He steps up and he drills them.
good hang lead win
This time, we were able to hang on to a lead as we went down the stretch. That was a good win for us.
