  • Doesn't like losing a home game to play in NYC at all. Loves NYC and Madison Square Garden but strongly doesn't like losing a home game.
  • Team will be living in hotels in the road stretch from Sunday to Sunday with games at Penn State, at Maryland, and Ohio State at MSG. Normally during road games the team doesn't go out to dinner or anything and dinner is brought in during film, but they'll get out next week so the players don't go stir crazy.
  • Thinks the team got Northwestern out of their system.
  • Media hadn't talked to him since the most recent allegation came to light. Repeated that when a situation like this takes place you go to your boss with it and follow their policies and procedures.
  • There are guys that have been put in tough positions to produce -- Bakary and Gas were the third and fourth string centers going into the year. Doesn't even know who Purdue's third string center is.
  • Isaac Haas is so big that you can't really prepare for him. He's got better passing the ball out of the post. Purdue's clicking really well and plays well together.
  • Dupree's still not practicing. It's easy for NBA guys to do that but more difficult for college players. He's been locked in watching at practice.
