It's possible, but you've got to go in with a different mentality. We have to work hard and believe we can do it.
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.
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.
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.
It's like my third one of the year,
It was a tremendous boost for us going into the half. It was huge for us. We were in the locker room pumped out, and we came out with the same energy.
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.
They came out and did a good job. Teams come out and give us their best shot. They play hard against us.
It's a wonderful thing. He rebounds, he runs the floor, he's a terrific guy. He's a first-round pick if he continues to get that killer mentality and feels like every rebound is his. This is a great accomplishment for him. But I know he's not going to get complacent. He's going to continue to get better.
It opens up a lot of things. We push the ball and put pressure on the other team to get easy buckets. I think it opened up the game for us.
We've seen it before. Now we just have to practice for it.
