We knew we were coming up against a strong team with a great tradition. I'm extremely pleased with our effort, especially with our defense in the second half, which I felt was the difference.

We knew win or lose, it was just one game. It doesn't change anything. It was an opportunity to find out how good we were. Today, we were pretty good.
|
We like to play an up-tempo game. It's an exciting brand of basketball, and our players enjoy playing it.
|
We really started to get after them. Once we became more aggressive and intense, that's when we started to score more points.
|
We really tried to get a game with Michigan State. We wanted to have a home-and-away (series), but the dates would just not work. Hopefully we'll get a home-and-away scheduled later on because I really want to get back to Michigan and bring my team with me.

We took two real quick shots in a row, and on both occasions they came down and scored. They took the wind out of our sails a little bit.
|
We wanted to attack the baseline, because when they run a 3-2 zone, we know the baseline and high post are the weaknesses of that zone. And our guards did a good job of penetrating.
|
We wanted to attack the baseline. They were in a 2-3 or 3-2. A lot of the time they were in the 3-2 and we knew the baseline was open. We had our shooters go to the baseline, and our guards did a good job skipping the ball to the baseline.

We were a little over anxious to play. We shot the ball well when we got shots off, but to turn it over 31 times, I don't think I've ever seen that from this team. I'm disappointed by that.
|
We were in the locker room and we turned the TV off. It didn't really matter to us who won. They're both excellent teams. We have lost to both of them the last time out.
|
We were ready to play from the word 'go'. I was very pleased with our start. I was a little anxious to see how we'd come out and if we'd be a little off our rhythm, and we weren't. We were ready.
|
We were really trying to get a game with Michigan State this year. Both schools worked really hard to make this happen. Both schools wanted a home-and-home. The dates just didn't work out. I'm happy to be playing Michigan State. I wish it was in the state of Michigan.
|
We're excited to still be playing. This was one of our best defensive efforts of the year and I can't say enough about the effort they put forth.
|
We're the best conference in the country.
|
We've been in this environment several times. Now we use it to our advantage. We fed off the crowd, and the crowd fed off us.
