Presser?

He seemed more positive than in recent games. Was high on Scoop and Kris's play during the stretch run. He had a very odd story about some "skin tight uniforms" nike made us wear against GTown at some point - which one player refused to wear at the last second before tipoff. Not sure wth he was talking about but made it seem like there is a juicy story there, he walked off the podium talking about "one day I'll tell that story..."

He also said the UConn game Saturday will be our toughest game of the year and has told the players this.
 
after listening to it several times, I came away with similar points stated above but with a few more:
1. when asked who the go to players are at end of games JB metioned the seniors Scoop and KJ and followed quickly with Triche and Waiters
2. concerning Dirty he wants to give him and Keita more time in last two games to "get them playing" and to give others some time off...he did not mention MCW
3. JB complimented Triche for driving to the hoop...yes he did not finish but Triche was aggressive...also was not upset by three plays by Triche when we were up 14 and things didnt go right--maybe fact is JBs evaluation is that if Triche is aggressive that is good...ours seems to be did it go in the basket
4. JB said we dominated teams earlier but not in last several...maybe good to have the pressure of close games at end but fact is you can win 6 in a row close games but you could lose the 7th that is close
5. JB believes last two games against UConn and Louisville will be most difficult of season...and yet he spoke of getting Keita and Dirty more time to work through their problems.
