It's been a challenging week, but you know, that helps us develop as young men. We all knew the situation before we came up here to school. It happened, so you've got to deal with it and move on. |
Once a person has made up their mind, it's hard to change their mind. |
Seemed like we were a little timid. Once we got the pressure going on them we did a pretty good job. |
That might mean something if we won, but it means little when you lose. I would have been satisfied with no points, no rebounds and no assists if we had found a way to get to the Sweet Sixteen. |
That should have no affect on us. We've played enough road games to be ready for any crowd. |
The other guys had to step up for them. That's why they call it a team. |
They were playing the passing lane for me to pass it back out. The lane opened up, and nobody came through. |
We don't have time for that. We have to focus. If you get into that, it becomes personal battle. That takes away from the team game. Let him do all the talking he wants. |
We need to push the tempo, get it inside, play hard on defense, and do what coach asks us to do. We have to play good defense first. Defense wins championships and offense wins games. |
We showed character and we showed fight. We got down, and we still continued to fight and lost by eight. |
We're automatically supposed to push the ball up. It was a big emphasis to keep pushing it up because we saw the big men weren't running back. |
We're playing with the utmost confidence right now. We know things aren't always going to go our way, but if we play hard and do what we're supposed to do we have a chance to win this. |
We've all been saying it and that's what we want to do. Everybody in the locker room, the coaches, coach, everyone, we all have the same goal and that's to find a way to finish strong in the Big Ten and still get in the NCAA Tournament. |
Where we play shouldn't be a factor. We've played enough road games to be ready for any crowd. |
You box out and play good defense on Marco every time, every play, so you don't have to do that drill anymore. |
