All three of us, … are trying to have top-notch programs.

He’s a heck of a player.

We are where we are and we go to the next game. I’ll let other people judge whether that’s good, bad or indifferent because they’re all entitled to their opinion. I’m just getting ready for...

They’re still young men who want to be successful and be a part of something that is successful. So I always start with that as the basic premise, … And then you show them to...

I see in him a young man that’s always wanted to be a Badger, works hard, listens, makes the other guys better in practice, just does all the things a coaching staff likes to see...

All three played in pretty good (high school) programs, and that always helps coming into a college situation. But being the first practice, it’s still too early to get a read on the freshmen. They’re...

I think they made a statement that it’s been a pretty good season for such a young group.

The toughest part for bigger-than-average people is to move your feet and to get your feet in good position,

It’s very difficult to ever try to analyze this without paralyzing yourself.

We needed to have those guys on the floor when we had Indiana missing shots and they were struggling for a while. We needed to have our strength out there…and maybe open it up to...

I’m not making excuses or apologies for how this team played. Penn State is the only team as young as us in the (Big Ten Conference). We played in the NCAA tournament. We just got...

We figure 7 p.m., people can get there of all ages, they get to the Kohl Center, they see us play some games and have some fun, … When most people see us only during...

Four turnovers. Two assists. I told him he’d have the game ball if he had taken care of the ball a little bit better.

That’s the ball game right in that stretch.

The players here represent the university and they represent the players who have played here. Everyone knows that when you’re part of something good, the tendency to give in or to stop working is tougher,

It’s always about feet and position. Position means your feet have to get you there. How you use your upper body is important, too, but your feet are what take you where you go.

The best thing to do is try and make sure you’re getting something at your end. We had stretches where we didn’t get that.

This group, to have accomplished what they’ve done and to catch themselves in mid-season and get those four really tough (victories) toward the end of the year, I think they made a statement that it...

I had to smile because if we’re doing that at midnight, those kids aren’t there,

We try to get to the line a lot, no matter what. We did a much better job than in some other games of getting position and making post feeds and getting people off their...

Right now, they’re playing their best basketball. They’re coming in with a heck of a lot of confidence. What our guys better do is make sure they haven’t lost any.

We got to the dance. Did some guys play older? Yeah, they did. We got some great contributions. Was it consistent? No. But we’re not here if we don’t get those contributions.

He’s a pretty versatile player. He’s taller than average at 6-11 and he can shoot it, he can pass it and he values the game. If he doesn’t have a good shot, he’ll pass it,...

We are not athletic or quick enough to be playing from behind. These guys know it, and the coaching staff knows it. Boy, did (Arizona) play well.

That was the ball game right in that stretch. They played better than we did.

They are positions of responsibility, I take them seriously and I try to make sure that I stay up on all the legislation, all the issues and just try to be fair,

Right at the end there, if we score on about three or four of those possessions where we had decent shots, we could have gotten it to two or three (points). Our free throws weren’t...

That’s what college does for people when given the opportunity, … We’ve watched him grow into manhood right in front of our eyes. He has enveloped the knowledge, the experience and is a better person...

These young guys get to live in their moment. I don’t know what people remember about Wisconsin or what people remember about Arizona. Everyone is in their own time warp.

I don’t think it could have been any more fun than it was last night, for both sides.

We played him similar to a lot of ways other teams have played him, or tried to. He’s still 5-for-10 (shooting), he still gets in double figures, pretty close to a double-double. He’s a good...

The ball went in the basket and they were struggling at that point. We knocked some shots down and then we were a little more patient. Sometimes we have to remember it isn’t all going...

What I’m hoping is that our guys approach this as, ‘OK here’s some players that have done some good things, the program has been good, let’s not let the program down. Let’s not let what’s...

We didn’t move well, but when you do get a look you’ve got to make something happen. We had some drives to the basket where we shot some floaters – shots that I’ve never seen...

He’ll be able to play as a post player and a perimeter player. That equates to a four, possibly a three, but at this time, we don’t plan on playing him as a five.

Not at all. No way. We knew they were a good team.

All kinds of things could have happened there.

I’ve had that said to me a lot, that I’m good at working a room, … There are people who have questions they want to ask me. If I stand in a corner somewhere, how...

When the ball doesn’t go in, you can’t explain it all the time.

I like the way our guys are executing. Then sometimes if somebody is quicker, bigger, stronger, eventually they’ll wear you down and they’ll impose their will, especially on the road.

Well, he looks like he’s in his early 60s.

Everything was just the way our training staff and medical staff had it planned. He was on the practice floor doing the things everybody else was doing.

Some campuses had a problem with certain establishments emptying out at midnight for people coming over to the ‘Midnight Madness’ and maybe not comprehending exactly what was going on on the court. So take that...

Sometimes that’s a lot to ask, so I’m not going to pressure them into being at a certain stage. As a coach and a teacher I learned a long time ago you’ve got to bring...

I think a true conference schedule, with as good a league as we have we lead the nation in attendance, we have great fans I just think that equal home and away games with every...

It’s kind of like the free throws we’ve given up. We’ve lost a couple games because (against) Michigan and Northwestern, they (didn’t) miss a free throw down the stretch. We just closed out (a victory)...

[As a freshman Harris averaged 12.3 points and led the team in steals and blocked shots. While learning the point on the fly last season, he averaged 12.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists and a...

There are so many good guards in the conference that if you don’t have one like Devin, you’ll get buried. He’s finding out that he’s a natural for the point position.

This is all about trying to restore confidence.

I think the way people are talking about how we’re going to be is very exciting, … And If you’re a basketball fan you want to ask, ‘How’s this guy going to look?’
