I'm going to shoot 'em, anyway. I'm going to go 1-for-9, 1-for-30, 1-for-50. If I don't make one more shot this season, I'm still going to play the way I play and do the things I do.
I'm going to miss putting on that Illinois jersey.
I'm not disappointed. Cincinnati and Hofstra should be disappointed. They didn't make the tournament. We have a chance to do something special.
I love Mike Davis. I love what he's doing at Indiana. It's going to be a tough atmosphere to play in. But we're going to go in there and just try to battle.
I've got to continue to play well. We're a better team when I play well. That's the pressure of being an athlete.
Not everybody gets to play for Illinois. That's the way it goes. His future wasn't with us.
It was a great night for me. I was a little nervous, but it didn't have anything to do with my performance. I just had so many thoughts going through my head.
I want everybody to play with confidence. It's only going to increase my assists, my scoring. I want everyone to come out there and be aggressive and play the game.
That's cool, you should protect your house. It just feels good to get a road win.
They came out and did a good job. Teams come out and give us their best shot. They play hard against us.
The numbers are just great. We give the kids another option, and I know the success that we have already had has helped with bringing more in.
That's one emphasis now - energy, enthusiasm and having fun playing basketball. We have to bring the fun back. . . . We have to continue to play with energy and enthusiasm and we'll be fine.
It's so tough to beat them here. For us to come up here and win two years in a row is an unbelievable accomplishment.
We were really disappointed with our performance at the end. Don't let my words fool you, we'll take a road win, but we should have played the last 10 minutes better.
