My dad always told me that once you go easy, that's when you get hurt. I'm going to go full-out, and hopefully the knee holds up and everything goes well. |
Once he (Grier) gets going, look out. He's definitely one of the best in the Big Ten. In the first half, I had to score to keep us in it, then a lot of guys responded in the second half, and that was huge. |
She was a caring person, very involved with her family. É She had very good rapport with the kids. She had high expectations of them. |
That's what makes (Illinois) so good. Dee Brown doesn't have to do it on his own. |
The poise of this team was very good. We could have easily shut it down down four (points), but we didn't. That says a lot about this team. |
The pressure's kind of off us. We knew we had the team to get back here. |
They have the best transition game in America. We didn't do a very good job taking it away, and that's how they got most of their easy buckets. |
They're going to be hungry. We have to be ready for anything. |
This is it. Hopefully, we can put the icing on the cake. |
This is the moment that you work for all year long. We're all living a dream. |
This team will be remembered forever. No one has done this before, and we did it. The stuff that happened the past couple years just makes it that much greater. |
Those were some deep threes. |
We just didn't make plays. I don't feel wore down. I'm just mad right now. |
We really wanted to get up in them. |
We want to show people we're the best team in the conference. We want to win the Big Ten Tournament and show that maybe we did deserve a little bit of the Big Ten title. |
