Calhoun On The Game

"I want to congratulate Kelvin and his team. They certainly came out and jumped on us and executed exceptionally well. Then they withstood a terrific comeback by our kids.

I’m very proud of our team. But, unfortunately, they made foul shots and we didn’t. When you look at most every other stat, when we couldn’t make shots, we banged the boards – Jeff Adrien had more offensive rebounds than they did as a team. It wasn’t like one of those games where there was lopsided shooting, we both shot 48 percent.

We missed a ton of foul shots at crucial times, didn’t make a couple of big stops, they had a couple of easy hoops in the last two minutes, and that was the game.

I’m very proud of the way we played. I don’t know if we made steps forward or backwards or sideways, but they played their butts off and gave us every bit of effort we needed, they just now have to give us a little better basketball and make foul shots.

Indiana is a legit team.

We got the ball up the floor finally, at the speed that we wanted to, which, hopefully, is going to be contagious for everybody.

I thought, at times were were very gutty. I didn’t think we were great, but we were very gutty. I hope that it continues.

Bottom line, it’s a loss.

I told the kids they can’t play any harder, they just have to come tomorrow at 9:30 for practice to get ready for Louisville, at Louisville, where it’s not going to be quite as easy if you do fall down, like we did today. Because the fans really helped us come back into it. The fans were terrific today."
