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.
care chance conference forget guys hear home people road second shame ten trying win
We've got a chance to win the conference if we take care of home and win some road games. I think sometimes people forget we're in second place, and it's a shame these guys have to hear and read what they hear and read. We're trying to win a Big Ten title.
came game road trust win
To win a road game for us in incredible, trust me. It came at the right time.
assembly beat bother coming confidence knowing last playing road time
They have an experienced team, so playing on the road will not bother them. They beat us here last time we played, so they will have confidence coming in here knowing they could win at Assembly Hall.
basketball final good hard lost michigan needed played playing road state team teams tough week wisconsin
They have a good basketball team and they just lost some road games. That's part of being in a good conference. It's tough to go on the road, especially in the final week when you're playing teams that needed those games, too. Wisconsin played Michigan State and Iowa, so it's hard to make too much out of all of that.
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.
