ability continue dakota game good hopefully north state tough
We've had the ability to go through some tough times. Through those tough times we've learned. You look at the North Dakota State game and those are tough times. ... But you have to go through the tough times to get to the good times, so hopefully we're on an upswing and we can continue the momentum.
game playing question ready team together
It's not a question of if we're ready for it, we have to be ready for it. But I think we are. I think we've done everything (we had to do) up to this point. We're playing together as a team and every game we're getting better.
fighting fights-and-fighting hard kept
Nothing was easy. We kept on working hard and fighting for position.
ball feeds game moved played
We moved the ball and played well. My own game feeds off of teammates.
effort everybody front jersey lose ncaa says tournament wisconsin
There's no way we should lose by 20 in an NCAA tournament game. No way. The front of our jersey says Wisconsin and we let everybody down. We put effort in out there but you just can't lose by 20.
carry forward good hopefully momentum moving penn road state win
That's why I thought the Penn State win for us was so good because it got us our first road win where we know we can do it now. Hopefully we can carry that win through and carry the momentum we have and keep on moving forward here.
defensive great hit played stepped team
The team played great. Everyone stepped up, everyone hit big shots, everyone made defensive plays. It was just a great, great team win.
ahead basketball college environment good road situation
It's exciting. This is why you're a college basketball player, to be in this kind of environment and to be in this situation. You have to go out there and you have to play hard. We know we have a long road ahead of us but being in this situation is a good thing.
hear hilarious
It's hilarious to hear some of the things he says.
days four lack played practiced seen
It shouldn't have been that hard. We practiced four days (against) it. We've seen it. We played them once before with it. It was a lack of execution.
best hitting opportunity
It's all a correlation. We know when there's an opportunity. We know that they aren't hitting shots, that they are struggling. So we're getting our best looks, we're just not converting.
needed playing road work
It's one of those things where you keep playing with it and keep going to work on it. You just go out there and play. We needed a big road win.
coming couple example good guy help ohio plays protect state team
This is why this team is good. We do protect each other. A good example was the Ohio State game. You had one guy fronting (Terence) Dials and another guy coming weak-side on him and we made a couple of big plays that way. You had someone there to help you out.
defensive good helping job kindness picking road
It was one of those things where we just kind of got away from what we usually do on the defensive end with helping and picking up for one another. It was one of those things where we had to have a gut-check there and see what we were really made of and I think we all did a pretty good job of getting back on the road again.
