conference undefeated
And here they are, going into conference undefeated again.
last leave legacy work year
The legacy (the seniors) leave will last long after this year is over. But we still have a lot of work to do.
empty shoot shot work
You can't have an empty possession, come down and shoot a 20-footer, or take a shot off one pass. You've got to really try and work that defense.
believer considered experience goes good people somebody time
I'm a believer in both. Being old school, I always considered the NIT such a prestigious tournament. I'm somebody who would be very disappointed if it went away. Any time young people can experience the post-season and what goes into post-season play, it's a good thing.
beat felt good start tough
I never felt like we were in it. They are very good at the start of each half, that's their staple. We weren't very good, and they were awfully good and they're tough to beat here when they play that way.
fans ifs products
Fans will come if you have a good product.
blessed opportunity player
I feel blessed that I had an opportunity to be in the Big Ten for four years as a player and be in the Big Ten as a coach for eight years. To get 12 years in a conference like the Big Ten - it's a first-class league with great towns and great fans.
basketball christian family-guy
I'm a Christian first. I'm a family guy second. As much as I like coaching, as much as I like basketball, it's third, fourth, or fifth down the line.
perseverance team player
When I played with Michael Jordan on the Olympic team, there was a huge gap between his ability and the ability of the other great players on that team. But what impressed me was that he was always the first one on the floor and the last one to leave.
basketball motivational-sports stress
We try to stress the little things because little things lead to big things.
basketball balls shots
You create shots for yourself by what you do without the ball more than what you do after you get it
indiana phone
Indiana went about it a little different in how they did their search. I never got a phone call. I was never contacted.
family glad playing whatever
I'm just glad we're not playing in the Family Friends Arena, or whatever that thing is called.
feet glad good
I'm just glad A.J. didn't get his feet set. He had a real good look there.
