families nice parents playing
It's a nice place for the families to go. We're just going to play basketball. I know if we were playing on Mars, our parents would have come anyway.
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.
denied good harder job passes played playing switched taking
They switched everything and denied passes and did a good job of taking away what we wanted to do. We just played a lot harder when we were playing well.
great home illinois knock mess michigan overlook people played playing state teams ten wisconsin year
They're a great team, they played Michigan State tough, they've been playing well at home. They're one of those teams that people overlook and at the end of the year they always knock off a Wisconsin or an Illinois and mess up the Big Ten running.
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.
game played
I think we played harder. That's why we were able to get back into it. But we had more game to play. We had to keep playing.
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.
bad gives home lost motivation players team
Some of the players on our team have never lost at home. Dee (Brown) and I have only lost once, and that was a pretty bad feeling. It gives us motivation to win.
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.
played seniors supposed
He played great. He made the big play. He did what seniors are supposed to do.
came casual grasp hard penn people played ready state
I'm disappointed and surprised, because you'd think people would have been ready to play. We played lackadaisically in the first half, and that's not acceptable. After the Penn State game, it is hard to grasp that we came out casual today.
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.
reality play guy
Coach Bruce Weber told me in a meeting that all I have to do is play pretty well. The rest of the guys are doing well now. It takes a lot of pressure off Dee and especially myself. Luther and Deron and all the assists and rebounds and all the points that were lost, somebody has to make them up. In reality, you can't do all that.
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.
