They’re shooting the heck out of it. They got back to some true home games and got some confidence back. There’s something to be said for playing before your home crowd, in your familiar surroundings.

They’ve only been banging against each other, so I don’t know yet. It’s very important to have an inside presence. As the game goes on, speed fatigues, but height doesn’t shrink.

Honorable mention means that there are people that feel that he’s on the radar screen as far as the contributions. He made enough contributions to be on that list of the top 20 guys in...

It’s the same old story and I’d like to say it’s a different tune, but it’s not. People will say, ‘Oh, you lost this guy, lost that guy’. OK, that means there’s opportunities for some...

You know what they can do outside and they can do it with so many guys. That’s the dilemma. Gotta find a way to guard them.

When you have Dee Brown and James Augustine, two guys who have been through so much a post and a point. There’s a lot of coaches who firmly believe that … in basketball, if you...

My parents and sister can drive 15 minutes and see the game, so you can’t beat that. Coming back is great, but it’s really about our players getting a chance to play in the NCAA...

As I’ve been saying all along, they have to play a little older. Each guy is going to have to mature just a little quicker. Sophomores need to play like juniors and juniors need to...

They’re good on the glass. They’ve been good all year and we needed to be better. When you let them have second-chance opportunities like that, it’s tough.

People that know basketball recognize effort opportunities that a guy takes advantage of and he’s done that every minute he’s been on the floor. Here’s a freshman that’s come in an really chipped in on...

It’s easier for them to know that if they do the right things, they’ve seen it happen where you can have some success. And people don’t jump ship as easily. They don’t get discouraged as...

Over the years we’ve wanted to bring in high school people-not just players-but people who are interested in our team and our program that can’t get tickets, they can’t see us in the Kohl Center,...

The way we were moving the ball, especially early, we had guys catching pneumonia they were so wide open. But then again, when somebody says, ‘Go ahead and let them shoot that.’ I’ve seen Brian...
