coaches enjoy happy playing ride run thinking
I'm just going to try to enjoy the ride I've had playing with Dee, the coaches and the team. That's what's going to make me happy right now, thinking about the run I've had here.
coach excited guys people taking
Coach has been on us. But the guys have been taking it pretty good. When you're winning, you kind of get cocky. You're like, 'Let's keep doing what we're doing.' Now people are more excited to learn. A lot of people are listening.
beat beats best character coach example gave good home keeping playing road run showing solid talks team win winning
Coach (Weber) always talks about how good of a team we can be. Like, he gave the example of how we beat Georgetown at home, and Georgetown beats Duke. I know it's a home win for us. But I think we're up there with some of the best teams. If we keep winning on the road and showing some character and keeping playing solid basketball, I think we can make a run at it.
coaches easier easy game maybe report scouting watch
That's fine. It's easy for us. We watch the same film and maybe the (last) game to see what we did right and wrong. The scouting report is the same. So it's easier on the coaches and easier on us.
awful coach game hour played stopping watch
We're going to look awful on the film. You feel like you played well during the game and then you go watch the film. It's about an hour long, and Coach is stopping it every 10 seconds.
base coach coming developing good great hopefully job majority players program recruiting
Hopefully they'll be able to keep going and the program will get better. Coach Weber does a great job of recruiting and a great job developing players. They have a good base with a majority of players coming back. I don't see why anything would change.
body coaching contest couple good handed job knew scouting shots staff tape tried watched worked
The coaching staff did a good job with the scouting report. They handed out the tape and I watched a couple of times. We knew a lot of his shots would be 3-pointers. We tried to contest those and put a body on him, and it worked out well for me.
against playing practiced ready stuff
I like playing against them and we just went through their stuff and practiced for what they do. So we should be able to get ready in a hurry.
good last loss next situation step
It's not a good feeling. Now we're in a situation where our next loss is our last one. We have to step it up.
bench game great hard job night starters win
The bench did a great job. The other starters did an unbelievable job just to make our night special. I think they consciously wanted to go out there and play hard for us, and to win another game in the conference.
gets gonna hits screens starts swagger
Once he starts hitting, you just set screens for him and he does the rest. When he hits a big shot, he gets that swagger and you just know it's gonna happen.
against crowd gets hit michigan played
Against Michigan State, we just played lackadaisical. Here, it's a different setting. You hit one shot, and the crowd gets into it.
good happens home rest
It's not a very good feeling. If it happens one more time, we're going home for the rest of the year.
answer care glad happy michigan questions state
I'm glad it's over. I wanted to go into Michigan State not having to answer questions about it. I'll be happy about it when I leave, but for now we have more important things to take care of.
