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.
bench great scoring teams
We don't have a great bench ? I told you that in September. And we don't have a great scoring bench. But there's a lot of teams that don't have great benches.
brown deserves difference great job taylor
I think Shannon Brown deserves a lot of credit. ... I thought he did a great job on Taylor and that was the difference in the game.

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.

I think he's done a great job in a tough situation.
great run shot
I still think they have a great shot to make a long run in the tournament.
good great total
I don't feel great about it because destiny's not in our total hands. But I feel good that we're going to be difference-makers.
came coaches feeling good great halftime knowing players relationship second shots today unselfish
Shannon (Brown) was very unselfish today and Maurice (Ager) came to me at halftime and said, 'I made some good shots in the first half and in the second half I'm going to go out there and put them down.' That to me is a great feeling knowing that the relationship between the coaches and the players is that confident.
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.
eight exposure great help league respect run talked team teams ten win
It's great to have our league being talked about. Every team in the league is making some strides. I still think eight teams can win the Big Ten championship and in the long run that's going to help our recruiting, our exposure and the respect for our league.
coming exciting few good great heck league lose negative quick run talked teams time tough
It's great to have our league being talked about and see that we're making some strides. It's an exciting time, yet it's a tough time because so many good teams are coming up. You can get on a heck of a run in a negative way pretty quick if you lose a few games.
difference great job
The turnovers, I told you, would make a big difference in the game. We did a great job there.
awesome few great hard hours last paid quite spent weight won
It is a great feeling. It is such an awesome feeling. I won it last year, and I won it again. I spent quite a few hours in the weight room. All the hard practices, it all paid off.
coach great players win
When the players want to win more than the coach, that's a great sign, and I see that.
