crack days few good guess reading seriously settle
It's just a pretty good crack in the head. And I guess it'll take a few days to settle down. ... I'm not reading into anything that there's anything seriously wrong.
game major rough senior start win
It's kind of apropos for the year. It was a rough start and it will be a rough ending. At the same time, if you can win a game and you've got Senior Day, I don't see it being a major factor.
michigan since
It's as competitive as it's been since I've been at Michigan State.
brings coming games guard guy guys loss physical playing versatile
It's a big loss for us in games coming up. It's disappointing because he was playing better. We're not the most physical team, and he brings a little physicality to us. He's a versatile guy who can guard on the perimeter and guard big guys inside.
begin brought coming covered felt games guard guards guy guys loss maybe people physical team versatile
It's a big loss for us, especially in the games we had coming up, because we felt he was a guy who could have covered a lot of people on the perimeter or inside. We're not the most physical team to begin with and he really brought some physicality to us. But maybe more importantly, I think he's a versatile guy who can guard guards on the perimeter, and he can guard big guys inside. We just don't have many guys who are able to do that.
couple courage guess hand hitting impressed left missed switch
It was clutch. That's kind of his play, where he can switch to his right hand or his left hand. You know he missed a couple wide-open 3's that he's been hitting in practice. But to have the courage to take it I guess is what impressed me the most.
good playing shots time
It was good for him to get a little confidence, get some shots up, get a little playing time in.
appreciate deserved lick move night seniors
It was their night and they deserved it. We're just going to have to lick our wounds, appreciate our seniors and move on.
both fans good mistake pushing student total
It was a total mistake on both parties. Our student wasn't in the right position, and he wasn't under the right mentality. And Amadou, who's a good kid, probably made a mistake pushing him. You want your fans to be crazy, but I really think this was a mistake.
brown time
It's time for a different Brown to be the hero.
ball basket fade good guess instead job paul point shooting
I wanted to make a point to Paul that he has to take the ball to the basket instead of shooting those fade shots. I guess I haven't done a very good job of that this year, and so I reverted back to a way I know best.
ball basket fade good guess job paul point quit taking
I wanted to make a point to Paul that he has to take the ball to the basket and he's got to quit taking those fade shots. I guess I haven't done a very good job of that this year, so I reverted back to a way I know best.
nba turned
I turned down going to the NBA so I wouldn't have back-to-backs.
coming courage kids people seen took
It took courage for these kids coming off something like that. If you could have seen how people were tightening up after Saturday's game. It's scary.
