both consistency fed guys rivalry success
You had two guys who were fixtures at their universities. They're kind of institutions in their own right. The success of both of those guys and what they accomplished but also their teams' success, and that consistency fed into the rivalry also.
allow beat cannot continue good guys head people pressure shoot team
You cannot let guys who can shoot get their head up and get comfortable here at home. You have to continue to disrupt, you cannot let people do what they want to do and we didn't pressure the ball. You're not going to beat a good team when you allow perimeter shooters to get into a rhythm.
effort guys playing
We have guys playing hard. The effort is better.
gave great guys hooked ready
I thought our guys gave a really great effort. They were hooked up and ready to go.
attacking efficient finish good guys job white
I thought our guys did a good job. We just couldn't finish. We weren't able to make enough shots. I thought Marcus White did a good job of attacking and being able to finish and be efficient around the basket. We didn't make enough to make them adjust, and that was the key.
biggest bounce fighting guys kept plugging tough
That was my biggest concern. It's tough for our guys to bounce back, you know, it's that 'here we go again.' But we kept fighting and kept plugging away.
ball care gave good guys ohio second
Our guys gave a good effort. They fought, but we didn't take care of the ball in the second half. A lot of that had to do with Ohio State's quickness.
bad basketball five four guys hard last shooting struggled worked
We really struggled shooting the basketball in the last four or five games, which is too bad because I think these guys worked hard to improve.
game good guys man
We did think about Doyle. He has that old man game that you see with guys like that at 'noon' ball. But it's effective. He's a good player. That's just his style.
advanced ball coaching compared forward guys looking scoring september terms turned
He's probably a little advanced right now in terms of scoring the ball as compared to other guys in our backcourt. But he just turned 18 this September and has a lot to learn. We're just looking forward to coaching him.
chicago eastern fall good guys illinois nine players radar southern
Chicago has so many players, and I've recruited Illinois for nine years at Eastern Illinois and Southern Illinois. Players in Chicago -- really good players -- can fall under the radar because there's so many guys there.
biggest blend challenge coaching guys returning talked trying
As a coaching staff, we've talked about trying to blend in the new guys with our returning guys. That will be our biggest challenge during the preseason.
guys maximize respect
(Doyle's) got that old man's game. He's effective. I have respect for guys like that who maximize their ability.
against guys playing time
They have some different guys that are playing that didn't play against us the first time. Any time you make an adjustment, it has an effect.
