I've had that first-test question about eight different times. It seems like it's not a test once you win the game in some people's eyes. Wisconsin's number three in the RPI, so I guess we have to get the one and two teams in the RPI to get a test in some peoples' eyes. |
If he does that stuff, the points are going to come. |
If you look at the numbers, a new guy will be playing significant minutes. |
If you remember, Aaron wasn't highly recruited. Look at him now. He's better than a lot of the players recruited ahead of him. |
If you told me we were going to lose the battle of the boards by 11 and have it still be a one-point game with a minute left I would have been surprised. It's amazing. Every time these teams have gotten together in the last five years, every game has been like this down to the end. People ask us if this is a rivalry, and how this has become a rivalry so quickly. Every game has been a battle. |
If you would have told me we would lose the rebounding battle by 11 and only be down by one with less than a minute remaining I wouldn't have believed you. |
In the first half we played very well, we defended very well, which got our offense going. |
It came down to free throws. It's amazing how it's such a fine line. It's amazing how one little thing can go from making you feel happy to feeling disappointment. |
It hasn't been like an overnight thing or even an over-the-summer thing. It's been a continuous process really since we signed him. His improvement's been constant, yet dramatic when you look at it. |
It leads me to think it may be more likely [this year]. That's our hope, anyway. |
It was a completely unique situation. We talked about that she's got to find out what your niche is and what your strengths are. You've got to sell that. |
It was a good game that came down to a couple of plays at the end. We came up a little short. It wasn't for a lack of intensity. |
It was a very good team effort for us. I don't know where to start on the guys who contributed. Everyone stepped up. That's one of the best teams year after year in the country that we beat. |
It was a wild place. It was really rocking. We had to win that game or we wouldn't have won the conference championship. |
It was disappointing. But it's like I told the team. You learn the most from your disappointments. If that's really the case, we have some building block to work with after this game. |
