gun maybe mike
As I look at that situation, I feel for Mike Davis. I really do. I think he has been under the gun a lot more than maybe he should have been.
believe gun help maybe mike
As I look at that situation, because you can't help but see it, I feel for Mike Davis. I believe he's been under the gun maybe a little more than he should be.
gotten maybe
At 19-9, it's not like we haven't gotten some things done. We just haven't maybe done what we think we can do yet.
banned coaches directly found guilty maybe ourselves people punished punishment turning
There's got to be more punishment on the people directly involved. Maybe if coaches were not only punished but banned if they were found guilty of something. Maybe we need to self-police ourselves better -- I don't think there's many coaches turning each other in.
basketball best close couple game maybe perfect
That was our best basketball game in maybe a couple years. This was close to a perfect game.
dogs game madder maybe quite thinking worse
I was thinking about that as every game went by. I feel better in one way, but I feel worse that it kind of makes you madder (because of) where you could have gone. Maybe we're not quite the dogs we think we are up here.
execution guard maybe short
I was very disappointed in our execution and some of our guard play. Maybe we were a little fatigued. We were short on a lot of shots.
along consistent faster hands honest hoping maybe moving pressure puts saying ten work
I was hoping to have him back Saturday, and it didn't work out. It's kind of out of my hands and kind of out of his hands, to be honest with you. That puts pressure on the doctors. For the most part, they've been consistent saying that maybe he could do something Big Ten tournament-time. We were hoping, because everything was moving along a little faster, that it would be faster than that.
excited maybe train walking wreck
Maybe that's why I'm walking gingerly, I'm not as excited where our team's at yet. Because there's a train wreck coming.
maybe record resign retire
Maybe I should resign or retire and then maybe we can get our record back where it belongs.
guys jeopardize maybe medical shy wants
Maybe I'm hoping. I have no medical evidence. The two things I like is: I know we won't do anything to jeopardize him, and I know he wants to come back. Some guys would shy away from that for a while, and for him it's a no-brainer.
certain continues looking maybe option stock telling
I don't think he's looking at that as maybe an option now. But if he does well, we make a run, his stock continues to rise, which I think it has all year, and he's a certain pick, I'm going to be telling him to go.
few maybe mentally recent
I don't know why we haven't been consistent. I've said a few times that maybe we're not as tough, mentally or physically, as we have been in recent years.
best concerns defensive good illinois maybe poor seem time wins
What are they best at? They seem to be a good defensive team, which concerns me because that's usually what wins at this time of year. Not a lot of pressing, but just solid, get-after-you-a-little-bit defense. Maybe a poor man's Illinois in that respect.
