guard played playing point shoot teams took wonder
Teams have made adjustments to our point guard not being able to shoot the ball. They haven't played our point guard at all. They've been playing us five-on-four. I wonder why it took so long to make those adjustments. Now I have to make some adjustments.
anyone country figured guard hope leading misses
He's the leading scorer in the country, so there's really nothing we can do. We hope he misses some shots. We don't have anyone who can really guard him. No one has figured it out.
ball forced good guards job outside ready shoot shots stood turned
I thought (Marco) did a good job getting the ball back outside to our guards, but our guards weren't ready to shoot the basketball. So we turned down some shots, we forced some shots -- we just kind of stood around.
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.
both causes compete country floor four game hard lose matt painter played plays starters teams
It was a game where I thought both teams played hard. I think Matt Painter is doing a just unbelievable job. You lose four starters and you can still put a team on the floor that competes and plays hard and causes problems. I don't know another team in the country that can lose four starters and compete at all.
