asks both coach far games good hard painter playing short standpoint together
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.
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.
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.

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.

basketball care far taking
We just didn't come through as far as taking care of the basketball and rebounding. That was a big thing for us.
good handful job past scoring
From past experiences I know that Terence Dials does a good job of scoring with his back to the basket. And they have some good shooters, so they're going to be a handful for us.
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.
biggest games huge
It's one of the biggest games we have. It would be huge for us to win.

It's our rival. For me, I've always liked Purdue, always watched this game and wanted to play in this game.

It's tough when you jump in after everybody else has played seven or eight games. He's gotten into the flow and really helped.
