coach far motivate painter prepare terms wants
Every game, coach Painter wants us to win. So, just because it's IU, it's not going to be any different, I don't think; as far as in terms of his nature, how he's going to coach, how he's going to motivate us, how he's going to prepare us for the game.

Marcus is doing a good job as far as brining energy and athleticism and doing things we need him to do. He's done that the last three or four games.

We just didn't come through as far as taking care of the basketball and rebounding. That was a big thing for us.

From a win-loss standpoint it is because we put together two good games as far as playing hard and doing what coach Painter asks us to do and we come up short both games.
arm ball basketball bit caught caused dunk easy far gods guess huge late plays weird
I don't know what to say about that play. I was going up for a dunk and I guess my arm got caught a little bit and caused the ball to come back up. I guess it didn't go all the way through the net. It's just one of those weird plays that the basketball gods ... they didn't let the ball go through. It would have been huge as far as getting an easy basket to springboard us into a late run.
beat came due fact far finish floor game happened happy hard home last nobody played playing stuck team ten wants
This was a big game for us as far as playing our rival, IU, on our home floor and they came in here and beat us. To finish last in the Big Ten is something nobody ever wants to do, but I'm happy with our team due to the fact that they stuck with it and played hard through everything that's happened to us this year.
active balls defend far good hands inside loose rebounds state tough type whenever
Whenever you have the type of shooters (Ohio State has) and the inside play in (Terence) Dials, its tough to defend them. They do a lot of good things as far as being active and getting their hands on loose balls on rebounds and things of that sort.
ball basket far good job position white
As far as Marcus White goes, he did a good job for us, getting the ball in the basket and getting in good position down low.
against best chance eight far game games losses might ncaa odds rather rebounds score six win wins
I'd rather score eight points, get like six rebounds a game and us win 20 games and go to the NCAA Tournament. I mean, there's still a chance we might be able to do that. The odds are against us. But as far as the wins and losses goes, I would rather have those than statistically having my best year.
ball beginning consistent far games happy job played playing road season shooting ten throughout toward
In the beginning of the year, I started out slow, but as the season went on, I started to find my groove. Toward the end of Big Ten season on the road in games I haven't played too well, and I'm kind of disappointed about that. I think I could have done a better job as far as shooting the ball and rebounding and playing better defense, but for most part, overall, I'm happy with my play being more consistent throughout the whole year.
body eat matter season starts sure wears
As the season wears on, your body starts to wear down more and more. It's just a matter of doing things off the court, making sure you eat right and get enough sleep.

That zone really threw us for a loop. We didn't run our offense like we should. Then Horner just went off. He was on fire. There's nothing we could do.
