		<description><![CDATA[Defense and rebounding ultimately did us in against the Spartans. I was very impressed with the intensity of Michigan St. personnel. Coming into the game, we knew that some things had to go our way early in order to keep the game in our grips. But we were hit hard on the glass and couldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Air Force</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The games have been rolling on and we had another tough one against Air Force. I am very proud of our effort and while I do not believe in moral victories, I thought we did a tremendous job defending as well as working to get the shots we wanted. We must build on this and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another winnable game lost</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We lost another tough game to IUPUI. One important aspect to note with our four losses is that three (of the four) took place on our home floor. Young teams are generally better on the road as they feel more pressure at home. While I do not want to be a team of road warriors, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thanksgiving and The WIU win</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a 5-overtime win over Western Illinois on Tuesday and a 7-hour bus trip home, we gave our team Wednesday off and we are practicing tonight (Thanksgiving) at 7pm.  Tuesday&#8217;s win is significant because a wins a win. But, more importantly, it is our first Mid-Con win. The thrilling victory made our bus trip [...]]]></description>

		<title>Indiana St.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow, we will face a relentless Indiana St. team. As I watched them play the Hoosiers yesterday, I couldn&#8217;t help but notice how hard they play. However, we are playing better and if we can defend and take care of basketball, we will put ourselves in position to win the game. While the Sycamores are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Win #1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s to the first of many w&#8217;s this season. As exausted as we looked in the first two games, we were completely the opposite in terms of energy against Rochester lastnight.  Dewitt Scott shot lights out as we turned on the heat in the 2nd half. While we looked sloppy at times offensively, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life still goes on&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are off to a tough start this season, but I am not discouraged. The progress that we have made is night and day. However, we obviously still have much work to do. Our kids are trying and they will never quit. Tonight against Rochester, we are looking for intensity and focus. This has been [...]]]></description>

		<title>ND Tomorrow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In today&#8217;s practice (and the previous practice), we have worked on our interior defense as well as preparing for the pressure that Notre Dame is bringing. Early last season, we struggled with Valpo&#8217;s press and I do not want that to happen again. So, we feel confident that we can handle the pressure. This Irish [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good Learning Game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At least it was a win. After losing an 11-point halftime lead, we found a way to beat the Foresters. I am not sure we would have been able to win that game last season and I am very proud of our team. Defensively, we need to be much improved. I thought that our seniors [...]]]></description>
