I'm sure Indiana's going to want him a lot more if he wins it. I know Iowa will want him a lot more, too. |
I'm sure they'll be determined to get a win. But we are, too. This is a big game for us, too. |
I've always thought kids from Iowa don't get enough respect on the national scene. Everyone sees us as farm boys, but there's more to us than that. We can definitely play some basketball. If you grow up in Iowa, a lot of people think of corn and stuff like that. But a lot of kids think about basketball. |
It felt like everything was in balance. |
It just seemed like we weren't ready to play today. We've got to compete for a Big Ten title. I don't think some guys on this team realize they may never get a chance to ever do this again. |
It sounds like they played with a lot of pride down the stretch. Anything can happen in this league, and that definitely gets our attention. |
It was about time we started a second half that was good. Coach really emphasized that and we got a big win. |
It was just awesome tonight. It just feels like we finally got what we deserved. |
It was tough to handle. Hopefully, we can justify a lot of things with this Big Ten championship, if we win it. |
It's a little tough to take right now. |
It's a tough thing to take . . . especially when you've got two wins you could've, should've had. We just didn't get them, and now we've just got to hope for some luck. |
It's going to be a dogfight. We remember that they beat us on our home court last year (65-63). This is the only time we get to play them. |
It's my senior year. I'm just going to go out, have fun and play as hard as I can. |
Just growing up, you wonder why you work so hard and put all the time in. Now I know, with the feeling we have right now. |
Last year, we were kind of just happy to be going. We were one of the last teams announced, we weren't even sure if we were going. This year, we knew we were in, and we were one of the first teams announced. |
