hardest played
This is the hardest we've probably played in a while.
beginning hardest peak played reaching start
This is the hardest we've played in a while, with being cohesive at the same time. It's better now to start peaking than reaching that peak at the beginning of the season.
hard hit quickly shots
They hit big shots right away and things didn't go our way. When you get down so quickly and they get baskets so quickly, it's hard to come back.
evaluate gave great harder loss motivation penn playing
The way we were playing and the loss (to Penn State) gave us great motivation to play harder and to evaluate ourselves. We weren't doing it right.
coaches confidence games helping players won
The players and coaches have more confidence. We won two games on the road. The way we're playing, is helping our confidence.
backup
We're the backup singers. We make everything roll.
last people
Last year, we had a lot of notoriety, a lot of people watching. This year, people don't know what to expect.
earth great last team
Last year's team was special, but I think we are, too. I'm down to earth and I'm going to tell it to you straight: I think we can do great things.
anywhere bellies fire regular season seed slip ten
We thought we could be anywhere from a No. 2 seed to a No. 4. It's not a diss. It's the way things have gone. But we have fire in our bellies for all we did let slip away in the regular season and in the Big Ten Tournament.
felt seen shot
I thought it was good, to be honest. I've seen him make that shot so many times. After that, I felt a sense of longing.
attention coach guys paid statement thinks
I think a lot of guys really paid attention to that statement because we thought we were doing well. Obviously, coach thinks we need to do a little more.
coach guys intensity past prepare tribute
I think it's really just a tribute to our program, a tribute to Coach Weber, the guys we've had in here in the past and just a tribute to our program. The intensity at which we play, how we prepare and go about things.
dunk glass hand needless punch smart time tried
I think (Tim) Doyle tried to be smart one time and say I should punch my hand through some glass or something. Needless to say, when I got the dunk I said something back to him.
mentally mindset morning next ready sunday waking woke
I woke up the next morning about 8 o'clock mentally ready to play. The same thing with Sunday morning, waking up early. The mindset was to get up, get the day started and go to the game.
