beat hearts maybe playing teams truth
These (conference) tournaments are so underdog-oriented. Teams that have to win, they're playing their hearts out. . . . You're going to beat teams that maybe are better. The real truth is, the teams that are better maybe aren't that much better.
again best conference crazy days five game monday night noon played playing road saturday schedule teams wednesday
I've never been more disappointed to look at our schedule and see that we'd be playing a game Wednesday on the road, then Saturday on the road at 8 o'clock -- when Connecticut played that day at noon -- and then have to come back here Monday night and play. Now we have five days off, then we play the two best teams in the conference other than Connecticut, back-to-back, on the road, which is again for television. That's just crazy to have to do that.

Every game's tough, and you have to play well every game. We've got to start playing better or we're going to struggle.

biggest conference defending defense fortunate games people played playing problem stop time won year
Our biggest problem has been defending people. Offensively we played pretty well but it's pretty disappointing at this time of the year that we can't stop people on defense. We're fortunate we've won as many games in our conference as we have playing the defense we have all year.

If it wasn't for that injury, I'd be convinced he'd be playing this way every game. That was a tremendous blow to his development this year. It just has really held him back. But this will be a big confidence booster for him.

He couldn't get playing tonight. It's as simple as that.

afternoon cincinnati couple games glad home lost night people playing saturday scheduling three upset won worst
I'm glad we won a couple of games because I would have said this anyway. But people would have thought I was just upset because we lost three games, which we could have. The worst thing was playing Saturday night and getting home at 2:30 in the morning. At least play an afternoon game in Cincinnati or something. The way that we're scheduling is just not going to work.
