blessed games great group
All of our games are like that. But this is a group that is blessed with great resolve.
either grow prefer time year
This is the time of year you either grow or you get worse. I prefer to look at it as it is time for us to grow up.
ball shot sparks
Sparks ... shot the ball from the Rupp Museum.
doubt far guarded museum shot sparks
Sparks shot that one from the museum some place. Even if we were man-to-man, I doubt we would have guarded him that far out.
school
This is a big thing for our team, school and our state.
college guess low michigan points score stop style styles wants whether
I think we know how Michigan wants to play style-wise, but can we stop them - I don't know. In college basketball, it is always about style and how styles contrast. My guess is that it is going to be low scoring. We are not going to give up a lot of points. Whether we score enough points to win, I don't know.
against defensive fun game loose nervous night offensive playing team tuesday types won
I was very, very nervous about the game because we had so much fun playing Tuesday night against Louisville. Fun as in we won in a kind of loose fashion. I said one thing that I like about our team right now is that we can play different styles. We can play different types of games. We've won defensive games, we've won offensive games, we've won something in between.
addition ball shooting trying year
(His) play is on the rise. He's doing things now -- in addition to shooting the ball -- that we've been trying to get him to do for a year and a half.
excited opportunity special
We make no apologies about being here. We look at it as a special opportunity and we're excited about it.
hard knew matter opening past practiced ready start starting today
Renaldo knew going into today that he wasn't going to start but when the opening came, he was ready. He was ready because he practiced hard the past two days. Starting or not starting doesn't matter to Renaldo. He was ready regardless.
catching great guys win
We're probably not catching them at a great time, but our guys want to win too.
along bit confirmed hoping later might somewhere
That confirmed what I thought might happen. They were much more physical. Somewhere along the way we were going to be exposed. I was hoping it would be a little bit later (in the season).
throws
I know (Kinsey) would have been here. It's one of those things: He wasn't here on time, so he doesn't start. That throws Renaldo back in there.
ball defense growing improved scoring shooting vocal
Not only is (Day) shooting the ball well and scoring well, his defense has improved and he is more vocal and more confident. I think he is not only growing as a player, he is growing as a person.
