We had our struggles, but I think we had our struggles at the right time. Now we're winning games, and that's all that matters going into the Big Ten tournament. |
We have to keep fighting, trying to find ways to win the game. As a team we know we can win games if we shoot in the 30s -- if we play defense like we did in the second half. |
We just need to go out there and fight as hard as we can for coach and for ourselves. We are the ones that are going to be putting the ball in the hole and diving on the floor. There are little things that we have to take care of the next couple weeks. I think that we can get it done, and it can still be a great year for us. |
We started settling for a lot of jumpers. Jumpers that we usually hit we weren't hitting tonight, and that killed us. |
We wanted to win real bad, as you can see. But in my heart, we can play with anybody. Ohio State, they're a great team, but we're a great team, too. We just came up short. |
We went up to Connecticut last year. We should've won the game. We were up 15 in the second half and let it slip away, and Connecticut has the same team this year. We've got a better team. It's going to be an interesting game. |
We weren't playing the way we (had been) playing. We were playing just to run out the clock. |
We're playing better because we love to play together. Everybody gets along. |
When coach did what he did, I didn't want it to happen. But it was probably the best thing he could do for us. We've won four straight and everyone has it out of their minds. |
When Earl is on the court, good things happen. He gets us into our offense quickly and gets us some good catch-and-shoot possibilities on the perimeter. |
Whoever we play next week, we know we can go in and get a win. |
Without an education, they won't ever see us on TV because we wouldn't be eligible to play. So, you've got to have an education to even get this far. But like I talked to them last year, it's all about getting the grades first. |
