badly fans phenomenal
I want badly for us to do well, because of the fans here, ... They've been phenomenal over the years.
badly beat behind hopefully inside james presence somebody
Not having Eddy and Jerome James is everything. You see how badly we get beat if somebody drives. We have no shot-blocking, no inside presence on defense. Or offense. So it's huge. But hopefully all that's behind him.
badly coach excited felt fun game good guys trying
When you're a coach and you see guys trying and you don't get a win, you want badly for something good to happen, ... I sensed after the game they really felt good about it, they were excited about it. That was fun to see.
badly good happy hear hopefully hurt last ready serious spoke time
I'm happy to hear he's not really hurt as badly as he could have been. I spoke to him today. This would have been a good time for him, the last 16 games. It's not something that serious and hopefully he'll be ready for the summer.
badly good gotten great happy hear hurt last rookie time
I'm happy to hear he's not hurt as badly as he could have been. This would have been a good time for him in the last 16 games. He would have gotten more opportunity. But he had a great rookie year.
advantages against athletic caught playing score team tried
We tried to score too fast. Against an athletic team like them, that's tough. I thought we had advantages if we could go inside, but we just got caught up playing their tempo.

We just want ballplayers. I don't get caught up in positions. I think Steve is strong enough to guard twos and quick enough to guard ones.

We just want ball players. I don't get caught up in positions. I think Steve is strong enough to guard 2s and quick enough to guard 1s.
chance stopping trouble
We just had trouble stopping them from scoring. I don't even think we had a chance to put them away.
advantage player team
What team wouldn't want to take advantage of a player like that?
people team
What's the criteria? Make your team better. Then look at the record, the people around them and then make a decision.
ball free gave hot missed throws turning
We missed some free throws that gave them a little life. We started turning the ball over. They (Indiana) got hot and we didn't have an answer.
best chance difficult figure since winning
We have to figure out the best chance we have of winning the game. That's been the most difficult thing since I've got here. It can't be about the individual. It has to be about the team.
accomplish bad figure five matter team
We have to figure out how we defend. It doesn't matter if you have five bad defenders, as a team you can accomplish a lot. That's where we have to get a whole lot better.
