again bad buy early great job kid looks poor shoot shot shots
Early in his career, they said there was never a shot he didn't like. He's changed. He's done such a much better job of shot selection. I'm going to have to get him to shoot bad shots again because I really thought he had some great looks and he just couldn't ? poor kid couldn't buy one.
early good great played
We didn't play great but we played good enough to win. This was a step. How big a step? It's too early to tell.
early learned played punches took tough
We've played in some tough places, we've been through a gambit of situations, ... I think for the most part we've learned something from all the punches we took early in the year.
bad brown coming early forced goes good news
If Shannon Brown goes out early (for the NBA), and with (senior) Maurice Ager not coming back, because of need Isaiah could be forced to play earlier. That's good news and bad news.
brought early kicked took
The disappointing thing is they took it at us early and kicked our butts inside. I'm disappointed, saddened. On this night, they brought it and we didn't.

We were out of energy. Playing Thursday-Saturday is a joke.

We will not have that luxury this year. But we will address it in other ways.

I've tried to just keep my mouth quiet. It is a brutal, brutal, brutal schedule. And if you go through everyone's schedule, which I've done, there's no one even close. But so be it.
along beating capable cut helped indiana iowa michigan six state teams themselves week winning work
I've said all along there were six teams capable of winning the Big Ten, and that hasn't changed. Iowa has its work cut out for it, but they've helped themselves a lot this week winning at Indiana and beating Michigan State at home.
children might sound
It was a life-changing experience, and other than my children being born, I don't think I've had another one of those, ... It might sound hokey, but I know I'll be a better person and American for going over there.
basketball games good team win
I see this being a good enough basketball team to win a lot of games yet.
calls replay super watching weird
I've been watching the Super Bowl, and they could have used (instant) replay on some of those calls. There were a lot of weird calls in that game.
good job shoes
I've been in his shoes and know what he went through. They did a good job in the first half.
change deal good team
I've never had a real good team have so little depth. There's nothing we can do to change it. We've just got to deal with it a little better.
