I listened particularly close to this show to get a feel for what is going on in the program. Hopefully I captured the gist of it...
On SWOMO:
"One of the 3 or 4 teams that could win the league as per the pre-season polls"
"We've got to find ways to put the ball in the basket"
"Giving up 71 points isn't that bad"
"Don't know what buttons we could push"
Mike Kennedy - "This team has shown it can play some pretty good basketball." "It's there, this team can play well."
HCGM - "I have no explanation for it." "We are all ears as a staff."
"You have five games where you play above your ability and five games where you play below your ability (hopefully this was one where we played below)." "The other 20 or so define your season."
"MVC is a VERY physical league." "If some of the fouls committed in the MVC were committed in the Big South there would be a felony and the key would be thrown away." "I didn't like the ticky tack foul calls in the Big South". "SWOMO was taking it to us all night and we didn't give it back."
"If SIU does a better job defensively than SWOMO last night than I am not looking forward to that game." CB - "Ummmmmmmmm...."
On roster changes:
"We are still evaluating talent."
"Everything equal I would go with the younger guy."
"Some have been here several years and don't have much room for improvement."
On Matt Braeuer:
"I'd rather have him in a uniform than in a suit."
"On the concussion test Matt is at a 13 and has been there for several days." "He must be at a zero before he can come back." "That day may come this season or it may not."
"Matt's fourth concussion." (talked about broken fingers but I don't know if he was talking about Matt)
On HCGM's past teams:
"What we did worked in the past." "This is a totally different team and league."
"I like my players to develop a swagger, confidence." "We don't have that now."
"I'm used to my team coming out of the tunnel with individual moves." "We have a subdued group of guys."
"I want them to develop an edge."
On Braeuer's helmet-
"If and when he comes back a helmet is a real possibility."
"He should have been wearing a helmet before."
"He may or may not come back."
"NCAA has approved Matt for wearing a helmet if he chooses."
Miscellaneous-
"Right now we are pretty easy to prepare for.."
"It doesn't matter what type of defense we had last night with the way we approached the game."
"We only have a couple defenses -man to man, matchup, couple presses, one goes back to man, one goes back to zone." "We have played the same way since LSU." "That is the way we are going to continue to play."
"We only have four guards."
Caller: "Why do we walk the ball up the floor."
HCGM: "We only walk/jog the ball up when we are scored upon. We run a sequence of set plays that we don't verbalize. We are waiting for other guys to get set up for set plays.
"When we are in transition we try to beat them up the court."
"We are not scoring on enough of our set plays." "They work!" "We used a lot of them successfully against Notre Dame in the NCAA's."
On Creighton:
"Been told CU is not as talented as they have been before."
"They have a very unique pressure for 40mins."
"Fearful of that -it will be a challenge for us."
"Stinnett is a big-time talent." "He is a complete player -there is nothing he cannot do." "That is what we are trying to recruit."
"They go 12 deep."
This is just a little bit of what I remembered...lol j/k I wrote it down! ;-)
