I was very disappointed in our execution and some of our guard play. Maybe we were a little fatigued. We were short on a lot of shots. |
I'd like to sell the place out. We've had 13,000 (fans), but when you say it was packed that's a whole different deal. So I challenge people to do that. |
I'd say, right now, it's maybe 50-50 (that he plays this weekend), and yet I don't know what would change it, what would make it 70-30. He's going to wear the same 'Friday the 13th' mask, and he's going to have the same mouthpiece. I'm sure they'll X-ray it again and see how the bone has grown, and then we'll probably make the decision (today) or Wednesday. |
I'll say it like this -- there's a current under the water that I don't know where it's going sometimes with this team. But I do think it's capable of making a very good run, and I don't think that's a dream. We have proven we can play with anybody. |
I'm definitely packing for two days for the first weekend, and then I'm not going on spring break the second weekend. I plan on playing some basketball. |
I'm disappointed that right now, we can't seem to find the basket with anything. I'm sure we've lost some confidence ? we're going to have to work through it. |
I'm disappointed that we can't seem to find the basket. That affects other parts of the game, too. Now we need to regroup. |
I'm excited about the Big Ten. It's great to have our league being talked about. I think every team in the league is making some strides, and I still think there are eight teams in the league that could win the Big Ten championship. |
I'm expecting big things out of this class. They have paid their dues. I would like to send them off the right way. |
I'm going to evaluate this weekend because if we lost that game (against Arizona), we'd be 1-3 and the roof would be falling in back home. But I thought we gained so much here. I learned that they have much bigger toughness than I have. They're all still standing, and I think that tells a little bit about their character. |
I'm going to say what I've been saying all year, yes, we are lacking a leader. Our turnovers, 16-12 isn't ridiculous, but I'm sure they scored on a lot of them. |
I'm happy that the league is looking better and better. We're making progress as a conference, and making progress as a team, but we're still a work in progress and we've got a lot of work to do. |
I'm looking at this as a miniature Bob Hope tour. We're going to get a chance to bring a little bit of America over to them, since they've done so much for us. |
I'm more disappointed how we played in the first half. It kind of set the tone for the game. In the second half, we probably outplayed them in every facet of the game. ... We just didn't execute in the last three minutes. |
I'm not a big believer in that. The one time it really hurt was when Ohio State won the thing (in 2002) and got shipped west. That was awful. In that respect it would be an advantage losing, but for the most part winning is more of an advantage. |
