Finally. The key word is finally. Hopefully, we never have to take a road trip like this seven-gamer again.

Our kids kept us in the game with sheer work ethic and will. Northwestern off its win over Iowa is just a juggernaut at this point.

Young kids, man. It's always consistency with them, you know that.

We've been traveling like crazy. It's been really hard for our guys. I'm not making excuses for them. Their legs are gone; their minds are a little quirky, and it's hard for them because of their youth and lack of experience to make adjustments game in and game out. But there were some veteran-type responses (Wednesday against South Dakota State).

I felt like we were a family and our family was being torn apart, and I didn't want it torn apart any more.

He claims he's ready, but we have to see how tender it is (today). He moved well (Tuesday).

This is his first season in two years, so he's got to make sure he rests his legs, stays off his feet. He's not to a point where he can just come out and fire his shot. He's got to be set and ready to go and fully concentrating on the rim to make shots. It's good to see him back on track. We need that same thing out of him the rest of the year.

I wasn't surprised he took that shot.

If they're not kept on staff, we may not have a team next year. We may be left with four guys.
