game games lost road
You can just see it in their faces. It's not the same team. Because we lost one game or two games on the road and it was like the end of the year. When you think about that, it doesn't make sense. At all.
four games magic number win
We've just got to win four games now. The magic number for us is to try to get to 17 wins.
best contain defense four games last players stop
He is one of the best players in our league. You are not going to stop him, so you have to try to contain him. We have to play the defense we know we can play. Our defense over the last four games has improved, and that's the way we have to play.
fans fire five game games last ranked six top weeks
It doesn't make any sense. I've been under fire the last two weeks not only by fans but media, and we were one game out of first place and were ranked in the top 20 during that time. ... If we were five or six games behind, you'd probably have an argument.
basketball guess team undefeated
(The basketball teams) play on it. I think the men's team is undefeated at home, so I guess we're doing pretty good.
floor focused good middle staff student students
Not once did any student say anything to me or my staff or team. They're focused on their team. More than anything, students want to go to the middle of the floor to their team. I don't know if it's good or bad.
effect taken year
It's really taken effect on our players, not just this year but every year I've been here.
basketball effort everybody floor good hard time tonight
I'm disappointed with our effort tonight. Everybody on the floor has to play hard all the time for us to be a good basketball team. Tonight that wasn't the case.
came character game punched recover seen team type
I never seen this coming. You know, I never seen this type of game coming, especially the kind of team we are, the kind of character we have. But, you know, you never say 'never.' They came out and they just punched us. We didn't recover from it.
clean guy
I need to get him on my team. This guy was so clean with his fundamentals, and defensively.
ready shoot sure
I'm not sure (why we started slowly), but defensively I thought we did enough to keep us in the game. We were just not ready to shoot the basketball.
deserve players upset
I'm not upset about it, not disappointed about it. I think they need that. I really do, because these players deserve better.
against change game hoping illinois liked michigan played since
I'm hoping that the lineup change will get our mind-set going in the right direction. I haven't liked the way we've played since the Michigan game (Jan. 3). We played well defensively against Illinois and that's about it.
definitely starters
Not having two starters in your lineup was definitely a blow.
