I'm glad we finally got a T-shirt. They got, like, six last year.

I'm going to have to stay down on defense all the time. If I stand up he's going to take advantage of that 'cause he's a great player. The biggest thing is definitely to not let him get touches but when he does touch the ball, just stay down. Push him into the defensive help.

It was a huge swing of emotion in the game.
|
It wasn't at the Dean Dome but it was still in North Carolina. I was involved and the energy was amazing. I'm ready, especially after what happened last year.

It's about getting on a roll and staying on a roll. Winning the (conference) tournament gets us another ring. If nothing else, it gets us ready for the NCAA.

It's been intense. We didn't like the feeling of the Iowa game.

It's really a tribute to the program and Coach Weber and the guys who were here in the past. It's a tribute to the intensity we play with and the way we prepare. Also, it's a thank you to the fans.

Last year, we had a lot of notoriety, a lot of people watching. This year, people don't know what to expect.

Last year's team was special, but I think we are, too. I'm down to earth and I'm going to tell it to you straight: I think we can do great things.

The game against Penn State, there were too many worries. That's what got us behind. We had to stay positive with each other, then good things would happen.

The players and coaches have more confidence. We won two games on the road. The way we're playing, is helping our confidence.
|
The way we were playing and the loss (to Penn State) gave us great motivation to play harder and to evaluate ourselves. We weren't doing it right.

They are Illinois basketball. They have brought the program to where it is today and they epitomize what it is.
|
They hit big shots right away and things didn't go our way. When you get down so quickly and they get baskets so quickly, it's hard to come back.
|
They were talking a little trash. Sometimes that can be the downfall for a team. For them to be so high to be able talk to us whatever way they did, then when Dee knocked down shots like that, it breaks your back.
