That's what I've been screaming about all year. When you get that kind of production, we can be pretty good. We can be one of the top 10 teams in the country. |
That's what you want to hear on the road - silence. You start seeing the people start walking up the stairs, and now you're starting to feel good. |
The 10-0 run in the middle of the half was the back-breaker for them. It was a great team effort. Obviously our seniors were important, but we had guys off the bench that were important as well. They got us going in the first half when we were struggling. |
The bench probably won the game for (IU) tonight. |
The Big East just has so many teams, it's hard to compare really. It's hard to exactly determine which is the better conference, but I think we have a step up on everybody. Even our bottom four teams are very competitive teams. |
The big thing we're going to play for is the (NCAA Tournament) seeding. |
The big three with the shot clock running down . . . that was the back breaker of the game. |
The boards was definitely key again. You win by 14 and you've got 17 offensive rebounds, that's eight more possessions compared to them. |
The condition of inebriation is very nearly a universal experience and the words come from all our societal venues-the fraternity house, debutante ball, literary luncheon, longshoreman's bar, the Wild West. |
The crowd gets you so riled up at home. It gets you through bad times, bad stretches. It intimidates the other team and freezes them. On the road, you don't have that. |
The dang Salukis keep winning so we've got to stay on their tails. |
The difference is Penn State. If we win against Penn State, we're tied for first. It's a whole different feeling. |
The first game they played good, |
The first half was as good a 20 minutes defensively as I've seen in a long time. |
The first thing is scoring on the road, when the other team gets momentum. The second thing is the progress of the bench, especially on the road. If we can get some progress with those two things, we can be a pretty good team. |
