certain order win
We have to do certain things in order for us to win games. And if we don't do those certain things, we're not going to be able to win.
built few foundation game great kids record road several sides winning won
We have a lot of firsts this year. We hadn't won a road game in several years and we won three. We hadn't had a winning record in a few years and now we have a winning record. I think we've built a foundation and now have to put the sides up. We just have to keep moving. I feel great about our kids and where we're going.
beginning concern highlight last nice practice road seven situation trying win
My big concern now is, we can't let a situation where we had a nice win on the road be the highlight of the season. Beginning today, we need to refocus on what we're all about and that's the last seven games, and trying to get better in practice every day.
except guys pressure three win
No one thought we could win except the 12 guys we have and three coaches. There was more pressure on their side.

I talked to the team about building on the Indiana win. We didn't do that (after) the Illinois win. I tried to get them to under one win can lead to another win, and we'll work hard Monday to understand that this win could lead to another win.
along helped helps month morale start team wears win
I think it's been a different team and different feel from start to finish. It helps when you win some games, too, along the way. You don't have those stretches where you don't win for a month and it just wears on you. So I think that has helped our morale tremendously.
believe coach finally freshmen guys hard left loaded starting terms trying win
It was hard the first two years trying to get guys to believe we could win. Guys left who didn't believe we could win or didn't want to win. We're a very young team. We're loaded with freshmen and sophomores in terms of numbers, but I think we're finally starting to coach and put some things together.

We tried to get some steals from the pressure because we needed to get more possessions.
closer good needed player shots
We just needed to get closer to him. He had uncontested shots in the first half, and he's too good a player to do that.
