A lot of times we played right into their hands. I feel if I would have played halfway decent we would have come out with the victory. |
Any player usually plays better at home. I've had some struggles on the road. But I'm going to try to fix those. |
As a scorer, you do got to have a short memory sometimes. It's still a 40-minute game. You can't stop shooting just because you miss a few. |
At this point, we're all we've got. We've just got to play hard, that's all I can say about that. ... We've still got a chance to do some great things. |
Beating a ranked team at their crib, that's huge. For this Big Ten race, that's something that we need. As a team, we have confidence we can win on the road now. It's huge. That's all I can say. |
Destiny isn't really in our hands anymore. All we can do is win our games and hope they lose. We're not going to let this destroy our whole season. |
Give them credit, they played hard, and we didn't play smart enough. A lot of times they beat us to the ball. That's not supposed to happen. |
He's one of the best big men in the country, in my opinion. Just having him in there is going to cause so much problems for the other team. He ain't really got to do much ? just his presence. A lot of teams kind of fear him. |
Honestly, it was in the back of my mind. But at the same time, I know I'm an athlete. I know what I can and can't do. |
I couldn't really hear him at the end because I was so involved in the game. But when I looked up, I saw him and when I could hear him, I listened. |
I don't care who you're playing ? they lead directly to baskets. |
I felt I had to do something like that. I sat out for a long time and had to make up for it somehow. I had to take over the game and help Paul out. |
I had more open looks than I've had all season. Those other two guys stepped up and saved me, no question. After the game I thanked them big-time. |
I never gave up on myself and I understood there's plenty of time left in the season. |
I tell him he's got to do what he's got to do to take care of his body and play hard. Right now, it really don't matter how tired he is. This is it right now. |
