Indiana Head Coach Steve Aird

"We have a lot of things to get better at. I didn't think we started on time. I didn't think I did a good job of preparing the team today. I'm going to eat a lot of this. I have to be a lot better. I have to do a better job of getting people ready. When you don't have a good night, people want to blame people, but I thought we had some kids do really good things."

"Minnesota is a really good team and is among the teams really serious about trying to win the whole thing. We are not one of those teams yet. We are trying to get better and play with greater consistency."

The Hoosiers will be traveling to East Lansing on Friday, Oct. 5^th to take on the Michigan State Spartans.
