feet glad good
I'm just glad A.J. didn't get his feet set. He had a real good look there.
both came coaching feet guy key kids player special time wants
I've had a lot of special kids in my coaching career, but this guy ? he just wants it. And, he doesn't want to take time off. He's a special player who's the key to our team. He came back with both feet in.
aggressive close continue feet key move
That's always been a key in close games. We've got to continue to be aggressive offensively. We've got to continue to move our feet defensively.
feet glad good home practice scenario
We've got to get home and practice that scenario a little more. I'm glad that A.J. didn't get his feet set, because they had a really good look.
feet good grown guard power
I do think that's why Bru has a lot of good footwork today. He had guard footwork, and now he's kind of grown into those feet and become a power forward.
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.
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.
both chicago coming everybody good job knew media met nice surprised teams top
I knew when we met in Chicago (for media day). I thought we were going to be pretty good because we're healthy, and I thought Michigan, with everybody coming back, they'd be one of the top teams in the league. Both of us have done a nice job at the midpoint. I'm not surprised at all.
point starting
It's starting to get to that point now.
coach gets knight mentally team wear
It?s something coach Knight used to always do. It?s a long season. It?s a grind. Back when I played, there were 18 (conference) games. It gets to be very long and can mentally really wear your team down.
easy
It's not an easy time, it's not an easy day when that happens. It's just hard.
developed players
They've really developed some toughness. The players get it done between the lines.
against continued drake heal played robert sure
There was a possibility that he could have played against Drake and Robert Morris, but we wanted to make sure he continued to heal properly.
break capable days deal difficult game guard guards guys handled handling later lost sudden
This is a very difficult game to all of a sudden break in guard play, especially with the guards that they have. We just lost an outstanding player, and two days later we've got to deal with this. I thought we handled it as well as our guys are capable of handling it right now.
