Bo Ryan does an excellent job in this arena. So for us to come in here and win two years in a row is special to me. |
Carolina doesn't have a chance. They're a good team, but the Bears are a great defensive team and they're in Chicago. |
Coach did a good job of scheduling Georgetown. We have an idea of what to expect [against Air Force]. |
Coach went crazy on us at halftime. |
Doyle was talking a lot. He's a good dude, but he's out there talking. He came out and addressed me. . . . It's all fun. I love it when guys come out and trash-talk and have fun with the game. |
Elite? Oh, we're elite, most definitely. We've been one of the best in the country, man. We're elite, and if anyone wants to argue about that, they can argue with me to my face and I'll show them the facts. |
Every game's a must-win game. It's going to be a good game. Two successful programs. Two great coaches. It's going to be fun. |
Every team is going to play hard. The intensity level is so high I can't explain it. |
Five rebounds, five assists, no turnovers. He played solid. He always plays solid. |
Guys are a little confused, and coach is yelling all the time. It's going to be a grind. The Big Ten is a grind-out conference. |
He makes sure our faith in God is still there. |
He wanted me to do more and get involved by running off screens. I wasn't doing that, and he got in my ear. ... That's what coach wants, and I have to work on it. |
He was so nice, a guy you'd want to be around, not as an athlete but just as a person. He had raw talent. He was a guy I wanted to play with. |
He's a great talent and he likes to talk trash. |
He's a player, ... He already has the mentality. Fans are going to love him when they see him. We have good players. They bring a different kind of flow to the game, a different flavor. |
