We are going to go out with a bang. |
We can exhale now. It feels like we got a little monkey off our back and we can gear up for Sunday. |
We didn't expect that. We were as happy as they were that we won, but it wasn't like we were unranked beating the No. 1 team. |
We don't mind watching him. We have confidence in him. |
We feel we're a top-five team. We're beating real good teams. We can play with anybody. |
We got off to a slow start but played hard on defense and tried to take the fight to them. They're a tough team. They have so many weapons, inside with Brunner and outside with their shooters. They stretched us out and got some open looks at the beginning of the game. |
We have our goals in mind. We have five games left. We still have the NCAA Tournament in mind. That's what we're working toward. |
We have the pieces to win. We just have to bring it every night. |
We have to do a better job defensively in all areas if you expect to beat a team like that on the road. It's all about recognition and not giving up easy baskets. I thought we had some breakdowns tonight. |
We just need to stay in the hunt. If we lose this one, we are kind of throwing ourselves back against the wall. |
We need to build on this one. Despite the fact we're going on the road, I feel like we're moving in the right direction. We're playing with a lot of energy, and I think we can carry over to Purdue. |
We opened up some eyes. We didn't expect to get a six. Now it's up to us to go out and win some games this weekend. |
We really got up on him and kind of took him out of his rhythm early. We wanted him to have to dribble to his shot and get in the paint. He's a jump shooter. That's how he makes his living -- making threes. |
We really have to execute on defense and get up and down the court. If we can do those things, we have a chance to get a win. |
We started making harder cuts and concentrated running our plays correctly. That's probably the key to ball movement and getting better shots. |
