Every game's a must-win game. It's going to be a good game. Two successful programs. Two great coaches. It's going to be fun.
Carolina doesn't have a chance. They're a good team, but the Bears are a great defensive team and they're in Chicago.
I won't say this feels like a loss. But we could have put them away, and we didn't. We have to come out there and finish it out to be a great team.
He's a great talent and he likes to talk trash.
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 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.
The Year of the Century: 1876 was fun to research, and I did a great deal of traveling. I wanted to cover every event of any importance in that year. So I had to immerse myself in microfilm of a dozen newspapers in different cities, and half-blinded myself looking at it, hour after hour.
When you get opportunities, you have to step up and take them. We need production from our bench.
Every team is going to play hard. The intensity level is so high I can't explain it.
Until I quit writing and I don't know when that will be, I will always be reading something that has to do with what I'm working on.
You can't depend on the crowd. You have to go out and play. Coach told us they would make everyone leave, and we knew once it started it was going to pack up.
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.
We didn't play as well as we wanted in the first half, but in the second we came out with the intensity we needed. We play against teams that give us their best shot. . . . It's all how you rebound from that.
We didn't play as well as we wanted defensively and offensively. We're not doing the things we want but we'll take the win. The Big Ten is a grind-it-out conference.
