Johnny O gives uspart 1 and part 2.
“It was very interesting,” Polian said Monay on his weekly radio show that airs on 97.1 Hank FM in Indianaolis. “I’ve often said we in this building and people essentially in the media and outside live in parallel universes. I was less than thrilled when I went home Sunday night. When we had our meeting (Monday) morning after viewing the film, that sentiment was echoed by virtually everyone. We have a standard of performance here, and the standard of performance is high. We’ve often told the players it’s important to meet the standard of performance win or lose. If you meet the standard of performance more than likely you’re going to win over 85 percent of the time.
“For about three quarters Sunday we met the standard of performance – albeit grudgingly on offense. Then, it all went to the dogs in the fourth quarter. We played maybe the worst fourth quarter in all three phases this season. We weren’t happy about that. Nobody was. I’m sure the players heard that Monday afternoon. The good thing about it is we didn’t meet our standard of performance, but we played well enough to win. You get the ‘W’ and you move on and you try to make sure that next week you meet the standard of performance.”
Give ’em hell, Bill.
