The Big Ten held their men’s basketball media days in Minneapolis this year. Matt Painter’s television interview lasted just about 10 minutes and the questions started off about as you’d expect. Please note I’m paraphrasing from my live tweets at the time of the press conference so these won’t be exact quotes. Yep, that’s right, FDU was brought up. Painter acknowledged that you don’t really ever get over a loss like that and that it will stay with you forever but that’s just part of being competitive. He reiterated what he’s said throughout the offseason, that the team has had multiple losses to double digit seeds but that it isn’t the freshman guards who did that, they’ve only been on the team for a year.
