Since I've been at Notre Dame, I've really tried to focus on the state, and thankfully we've had a lot of success with it. I love the kids in the state of Indiana. I think it starts with great high school coaches.
aggressive concerned giving great guy heads job keeping locker plus ready running since syracuse wednesday
He's the guy I'm most concerned about, you know, because he's giving it everything, plus he's running the locker room, he's keeping guys' heads up. I think he did a great job of that since Syracuse (on Wednesday night) and then he was really ready to be aggressive and set the tone.

Luke's been very solid there. He's come a long way with his post defense and his defensive rebounding. (Fordham) left him alone and he made shots and gave us a double-digit lead we didn't relinquish.

Let's slow the whole game down a little bit and see if we can just plug along and be better each day.

We needed a league win. I was happy with how our group came out and hopefully it's something we can build on.
group heard hearts hurtful last maybe move problem selection taken watched
The problem with last year's group was they watched the selection show and had their hearts taken from them. And maybe more hurtful than that was they heard all the speculation for a day that they should have been in, as much as I told them, 'It's over, move on, we're in the NIT.' ... This group, there's no drama.
bit hoping
I was hoping we could play a little bit better.
