“I never really cared about it,” he said. “When you’re a kid and you’re playing ball around the house, you’re not playing ball because you’re thinking of the Hall of Fame. You’re thinking of making it to the major leagues. The big leagues. First things first. I really don’t get it. To me, that’s all (up to) the voting. After all is said and done, it’s what people thought of you after you leave. And after I left, it was only what the sports writers thought of me, not what people thought of me.”
“When you look at it that way and you say you lost this many heading into the end of it, I think what we need to do as a staff is we’ve got to say, ‘Why is that? Where is it? And how do we get better?’” Nagy said. “Every year is different, and you look at this right now, and I think identity-wise as an offense, you guys could see we felt like we created an identity. But how do we learn from that? Well, part of it is you see that in games like today, no matter what your identity is, you’ve always got to be able to run the football. You have to be able to do that.
“(A win) would be everything,” said defensive lineman Akiem Hicks, who won’t play Saturday because of a lingering ankle injury. “It would recharge our season. The things that have happened we can’t take back. We can’t change the outcome of the games that we’ve played thus far. But it says something about a person, it says something about a team about how you finish. And how you play those games that are supposed to mean the most. And so that would be everything for us to go out here and get a W this weekend.”
Winter, when deciduous plants are bare and dormant, is a fine time to trim and shape your shrubs. “With the leaves gone, you can see the structure of the plant better,” Janoski said. Plan to get the work done before the middle of March. You can prune any shrub during the winter, although if you prune branches from plants that bloom in spring, such as forsythia or flowering quince, you’ll be removing flower buds and you will forgo some blooms.
Dear Upset: It would have been judicious for your father-in-law to divide his estate into three equal sibling portions, with your late-husband’s portion given to your children, but he didn’t do that. He cut out your husband and descendants, but you seem to be reacting mainly to the fact that you feel cut out.
“We went to the Grotto this morning before we shot around, and we talked about it after the game,” Calipari said. “We play basketball. This is someone losing their mother, working in the warehouse, working for Amazon, and all of a sudden this happens.”
Just 1 minute, 53 seconds into the game, Jonathan Toews scored for a second straight night after coming up empty in the previous 25 games, the longest drought of his career. Connor Murphy sent the puck out of the Hawks’ end to Reese Johnson, made a quick relay pass at the blue line to Toews.
Trailing the Illini by one with 2 minutes, 22 seconds to play, Arizona’s Azuolas Tubelis capitalized on an offensive rebound and put in a layup. On the next possession, Christian Koloko forced an Illinois turnover, and Mathurin scored an easy layup to make it 79-76 with 1:55 to go.
The NBA placed heavier restrictions on the Bulls following their second test, limiting the team to essential activities such as travel, practices and games. However, coach Billy Donovan said the league has not shown any signs of suspending or postponing the team’s games despite the outbreak. Currently, the Bulls will be expected to continue playing games unless they drop below the league-mandated minimum of eight available players.
