talks
We've already kind of had all the talks that we were going to have.
bob sit sure talks
I'm sure Bob and I will sit down and have some talks soon. That's just something we haven't done yet.
good guys handling job talk whether
We didn't even talk about whether (Strickland) was going to be in or not be in. I think the guys did a good job of handling that, because we know we've been on the other end.
bottom change five including league longer might talking teams top weeks
There's a lot that can change in five games, including the standings. Two weeks from now we might be talking about teams at the bottom of our league no longer at the bottom and teams at the top of the league no longer at the top.
bottom five league longer might near respect talking teams top weeks
That's why we're the No. 1 league in the country. It's obvious. We respect everyone, and we have to play well. ... We're down to five games, but a lot can change. Teams near the top could be in the middle. Two weeks from now we might be talking about teams at the bottom no longer being at the bottom.
games michigan since talk talking
Since we got back from Michigan State, we didn't just talk about Indiana. We started talking about this week. We've grouped these two games together.
last longer met talked
We met at 5:30 (Sunday afternoon). And at 5:40 we no longer talked about the last game.
anyone attention calling capacity coach control means missouri official people talked
I can't control that. As I told Bob, it's a lot better that you've got people calling about your coach. That means your coach is getting attention other places. That doesn't mean your coach is leaving. I never talked to anyone in an official capacity at Missouri or Indiana.
blown contact conversation gets goes listened obviously reported respect talk
I never once had a conversation with the A.D. at Missouri. But it gets reported that way and it just gets blown up and goes from there. There was no contact on my part with Indiana. Obviously that's my alma mater, and if they wanted to talk I would have at least listened out of my respect for my alma mater.
behind claim game indiana national rather remember syracuse talk won
I put that game behind me. I don't remember a lot about it. I'd rather talk about Syracuse (the game Indiana won to claim the national championship in 1987).
dad freshman junior senior time took
When I was a freshman and sophomore, I got booed every time I was put in the game. Then, in my junior and senior years, my dad got booed every time he took me out.
caliber enjoy extra friday games gives glad playing straight three till
We're going to enjoy this for 48 hours. I'm glad we don't play till Friday because playing three games of this caliber in three straight days, it gives us an extra day to get some rest.
continue good job next possession shot turn
We're going to have to continue that. We're going to have times when we don't score, we turn it over. And when that happens, the next possession we've got to do a very good job of getting the shot that we want.
body healthy helped move obviously
When he got healthy as an individual, it obviously helped this team. He got his own body back. He could move defensively.
