basketball games good team win
I see this being a good enough basketball team to win a lot of games yet.
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.
good team
I've never had a real good team have so little depth. Strategically I don't know what you can do.
fatigue good handling job lead zero
Fatigue had zero to do with the loss. We did not do a good job of handling our lead in that situation.
against complex defense good helped offense prep week
Our defense was very, very good against a very complex offense at times. A week prep for that offense helped us.
anybody care destiny good positive
We have destiny in our hands. If we take care of our business, we don't need any help. That's what makes it, on the positive side, a good game. We don't need anybody else to do anything.
christmas coming door elves good gotten managers open room sparks stuff system
We've gotten such a good system down, my managers can get a lot of stuff done. It was unbelievable around here (Sunday) night. If you open the door in that room it was Santa's elves working on Christmas Day. They were going at it. There were sparks coming out of that room. They all take some ownership.
assistant basketball good heck helps pressure proud second shooting staff team three turn
I was proud of my team, staff and assistant coaches, it was a heck of a job. They were a good basketball team and put more pressure on us than Wisconsin. Our shooting and rebounding was very good, and it helps when we only turn the ball over three times in the second half.
finish good higher league left played sixth somebody team understand
It doesn't feel as good (playing the first day) as we were the only team left that had never played on Thursday. I'm disappointed that we didn't finish higher but I understand how good the league is and somebody had to finish sixth or seventh.
bad couple good great
I think he's done some good things. He made a couple great passes, then he made a couple bad ones, but he's getting better.
came credit game good happiest hard iowa needed talked tough
Well, I'm happiest for Maurice (Ager). To his credit he had some tough games. He came up and talked to me after the Iowa game and said he was working hard and getting his rest, and he really needed to have a good game. I thought he was excellent.
basketball good guys horrendous schedule taken talented team win
I still think this team is good enough to win some big games. This is a talented basketball team with good guys that has had a horrendous schedule and it's taken its toll.
against almost execute good last shooting three
We didn't execute as well in the last three minutes. We were shooting almost 50% against a good team, we just couldn't get it done down the stretch.
