credit second shoot
The second half, we just couldn't make a shot. And you've got to give credit to their defense. But you can't shoot 30 percent. We fouled too much the second half.
came gave half james patient second
I thought Dee was awfully patient and then James came back in the second half and gave them a big lift. But Randle and McBride were probably the difference.
game great half leadership second start
I thought our leadership was tremendous. At the start of the game it was very good, and at the start of the second half it was very good. It's a great way to start a tournament.
affect locker minutes nasty offense poor room second seven stretch
Our first 10 minutes out of the locker room (in the second half) is something we can't do. We let out poor offense - we had seven turnovers in that stretch - affect our defense. If you have poor offense, you need to have nasty defense.
jeff pain phenomenal second
I know Jeff was very much in pain. But he was phenomenal in the second half.

I'm the head coach at Iowa. My family and I love the Iowa program and the community. We had a record-setting season with a second Big Ten Tournament championship, and I look forward to continued success with this program.
mark plays second team
In the second half, we made the plays we had to make. That's been the mark of this team all year.
credit exploited quickly second taking wind
You've got to give them credit for taking that wind out of us very quickly in the second half. They exploited us every way we could be exploited.
center dominated favor position
We just got dominated on the glass. I thought the center position was really in favor of them.
faith jeff might putting warm
We might play him 5 or 6 minutes, then take him out. Yet Jeff might say that makes it tight, and it's better if he can keep it warm and go. We're putting our faith in him to let us know. . .
aspects financial
We try to take the financial aspects out of the injury,
expected seen today zone
We expected to see zone today - we hadn't seen zone in two weeks.
energy focus minutes
We are two minutes after the game. My whole focus and energy haven't changed. I put everything into this.
basketball last tougher
It was the same scenario. The last 5 minutes, I just thought they were the tougher basketball team.
