Good to be back home, had a really good practice on Sunday. Guys are spirited to be back home and in their own beds.
Amir and Dupree have not practiced.
Have played the most one day prep games in the conference. That's not an excuse but it's tough to do that when you're banged up.
When you have to scrap the playbook in the middle of the year when you're on the road, it's hard. Can't fault Nate Mason for a lot right now. We defended against Maryland, just couldn't make shots.
Once we get this week break, it will really help us.
With certain guys, it's very hard to adjust to the college game and that's what Isaiah's going through, but he'll get there.
How's Isaiah handled failure? He's not failing. One of the reasons he came here was to learn under Nate for a year and it's been a big adjustment, bigger than he would have thought. He can be a really good player but he's thinking so much, which a lot of freshman do. He'll get there but it will take time.
Jamir keeps fighting, keeps playing hard, stays in the gym. He has a good mentality and will make mistakes like all other freshman.
Thought the team at full strength would be right there, competing with anyone. Purdue's really talented. People think the Big Ten is down, but it should get better and better.
It's a little weird moving into Athletes Village in the middle of the season because we're kind of in a fog right now. The entire facility not fully functional right now. Don't know if it's the best in the country, but it's up there. It's top notch.
