adjustment handle second
At times we didn't handle (the 1-3-1 defense) very well. In the second half, the adjustment was evident.
available information point talked talking
That's an after-the-season thing. We've talked in generalities before. There's no point in talking about it now. The information is not available to him or to any of our other 12 players.
ages bad dame few found game glad guys hand hit oftentimes plays shots step
Their shots were deep, and oftentimes we had a hand in their face. Our guys made plays and there were very few mistakes. Some of the shots Notre Dame hit were from 35-40 feet. If you step out on those, it's bad defense. It was a game for the ages and I'm just glad we battled and found a way to win.
experience grown guys major played team together
Their experience is a major issue. They have so many experienced guys who have played together for so long. They are a team that has grown together.
deserved great
They deserved to win. They did a great job.
foul free guys playing teams tough trouble
They were a physical, tough team. Those were two teams getting after it and playing aggressive. We didn't outbound them and they got more free throws. Obviously, our big guys having foul trouble had something to do with it.
confidence players playing
They have players everyone wanted. They'll be playing with a lot of emotion, and they'll have a lot of confidence for this game.
ball beat close concern games lost shoot teams
They lost so many close games, that they have to be a concern for people. And also teams that can really shoot the ball and get it going, those teams are always a concern because there are always some games where they can beat anybody.
days despite fact good last playing stressed three
We weren't playing well despite the fact that we stressed the last three days about getting off to a good start.
flight
We think he's going to be on the flight (Thursday).
grow learn year youth
We had to grow as the year went on, and we are not going to use youth as an excuse. We've got to get something out of this. We've got to learn from this.
change expect foul guys minutes surprise
We had to go and change some minutes with the foul trouble. But it's not a surprise the way we responded. I expect those guys to respond.
against couple freshmen improved ready second teams three
We had three freshmen out there most of the second half, and I don't think many teams are doing that against this kind of competition. It's not to get ready to play in a couple of years, they're going to be out there now. Through 11 games, they've improved significantly, especially on defense, and you don't see that very often out of freshmen.
areas beginning exhibition games improve improved maybe team year
This team has improved from the beginning of the year more than any team I've been around. From the exhibition games through the 14 (regular-season) games, they've improved tremendously. But we have a lot of areas we can improve in. Maybe that's because of our youth.
