I don't think it's a concussion, but I do think it was a pretty good blow and he lost some blood.
afraid confidence consistency couple eight losses lost maybe nobody playing record start
I look at our record and eight losses is more than I'd like to see, but I also look at it like, I haven't lost any confidence in this team. I'm disappointed maybe in the consistency of a couple guys, but I haven't lost confidence in what I think we can still do. ... There's nobody I'm afraid to play, and I just want to start playing better, consistently, ourselves.
everybody games good iowa league lost moments
They've had moments when they've been real good and not as good, and so have we. They still have some vulnerability just like everybody in this league does. It was just two games ago that Iowa lost to Northwestern.
bigger bit evaluate falling gained game learned lost roof tells toughness weekend
I'm going to evaluate this weekend because if we lost that game (against Arizona), we'd be 1-3 and the roof would be falling in back home. But I thought we gained so much here. I learned that they have much bigger toughness than I have. They're all still standing, and I think that tells a little bit about their character.
basket confidence lost seem sure work
I'm disappointed that right now, we can't seem to find the basket with anything. I'm sure we've lost some confidence ? we're going to have to work through it.

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.
