mix people played team ten
We've got some things we haven't done in games. We haven't really played much zone. I think in the Big Ten we're going to have to mix our defenses up and try to keep people off balance. I don't think we're a team that can go out and play man-to-man for 40 minutes.
ball crazy four minutes run score
We're up two, come out, run a play, score a basket, we're up four with the ball with 18 minutes to go. And then offensively, we just go crazy and not score.

freshmen guys
Our freshmen will be stronger, tougher, better, our sophomores will become juniors. We'll have some guys who have been through the wars.

We played well enough to win, but in the last couple of minutes, we didn't execute. Strickland made some big shots. ... He was guarded, but that's what seniors do.

He's somebody we've got to be aware of and guard. I don't care how many shots he's made recently.

He's starting to understand how hard he has to play and the intensity level. He's making shots, which has given him some confidence, and he's blocked some shots as well.
