coming country four looking lose next scary starters team three top
I don't know another team in the country that can lose four starters and be able to compete. The scary part is that they are all coming back next year. Then you are looking at a Purdue team that could be in the top two or three in pre-conference (next year).
game maybe next shoot
Maybe the next game I'll tell them to shoot all threes and they'll go inside.
anyone anytime coach fought group guys hard last love next proud sadness whether
I think every coach, whether or not they're going to be there next year, anytime they have a group of guys they really love and appreciate, I feel more sadness for them than anyone because they fought hard. They really fought hard over the last month. I'm proud of them.
blown everybody game gather happens hopefully kids league lick next ourselves pack season ways winning wounds
We've got one more game left. We have to lick our wounds and hopefully end the season on a winning note. Hopefully the kids won't pack it in and I don't think they will. We have a ways to go to play in the same league as CBA and so does everybody else. They've blown everybody out this year. We just have to gather ourselves and see what happens next week.
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.
