We don't have a great bench ? I told you that in September. And we don't have a great scoring bench. But there's a lot of teams that don't have great benches. |
We found a way to win ? that's what you've got to do in one-and-done time. |
We found a way to win, but we've got to get a lot better in the next 25 hours or so. |
We had one stretch where we felt we were getting clobbered in there and Dee Brown took over. A combination of the two is not a pretty sight. |
We had some spurts when we hit the 3s, ... This was an important win for us. |

We have a long way to go but we are still in the race. I'm not giving up on the Big Ten, but we just aren't in control so we just have to let it play out and focus on getting better every day until the Big Ten tournament and the NCAA tournament. We have lots of big games we need to focus on, but it feels good to be home. |
We have an opportunity of a lifetime, ... to be home and playing for at least a share of the Big Ten championship. |
We have destiny in our hands. If we take care of our business, we don't need any help. That's what makes it, on the positive side, a good game. We don't need anybody else to do anything. |
We have not had three guys as prolific as those three. They've been pretty special, and they're good guys that are going to graduate, making them the total package. |
We have to learn how to play with the lead, and the Iowa game was a case in point where we didn't play with the lead. (The players) came into our huddle, we were up 15-4, and they really believed (Iowa) was tired. It was good: 'Let's get 'em now coach, let's do this, let's do that.' But I think they took that to another level and they started taking shots too early. |
We haven't checked anybody yet. That's going to change -- or we're going to find a way to change it. |
We just did not check defensively. They really just went at us inside and it was almost a joke. We've never been handled like that inside. |
