cap deep feather guess happen mentally ride
I guess it could happen to us, but I look at it the other way. If we can go deep into this tournament, I think mentally it will be a big feather in our cap and then we can ride that a little bit.
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.
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.
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.

The officiating, I question it. I really do. I question it. I guess I'm allowed to say that.
guess looks lose maybe picks potential small three win
It is a win-win-win. I guess on paper, if he goes, it looks like it's a lose for me. It's a lose if you look at the small picture, but a real win if you look at the big picture. The potential of maybe having three first-round picks is pretty impressive.
faith guess ice job sell selling
I think we can get it done. I guess it's my job to sell it to them. I don't think I'm selling ice to an Eskimo. I still have a lot of faith in this team.
playing
We were out of energy. Playing Thursday-Saturday is a joke.
address luxury
We will not have that luxury this year. But we will address it in other ways.
brutal mouth tried
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.

I see this being a good enough basketball team to win a lot of games yet.
