We had four guards out there. They had four guards, too, but they had a little bit of size on us. It's tough playing with four guards. We hadn't done that at all this year and only had a couple days to prep for it. It's still not an excuse with the rebounding. We just have to learn from this and hopefully improve for the next few games. |
We just have to learn from this and improve with that lineup. |
We know they'll try to get after us like that. This is going to be a test of our composure. |
We proved what kind of team we are many times this year, just things aren't clicking now. We're struggling for answers, and I think once we figure those out, we'll be back on track. |
We settled for a lot of jump shots and didn't get to the free-throw line. We didn't get the ball inside enough. |
We're not done. We're not quitting at all. We're gonna practice (today) and keep fighting and get ready for a big game with Michigan. We're gonna come out and play hard. It shows what kind of person you are when you fight back from things like this. |
We've shown how good we can be, beating three top-10 teams. It's just a consistency thing with us. |
You look at all of the teams that make it to the Final Four, they have great guard play. Not just point guard play, but guard play. |
You never want to lose to your rival. It hurts. But more importantly, it hurts in the Big Ten race. We're going to have to win out to have a chance. |
