Bo Ryan does an excellent job in this arena. So for us to come in here and win two years in a row is special to me.
I didn't make shots. I was thinking too much. I'm going to continue to fire and do my job as far as being a point guard. We came out with a win so I'm happy.
My freshman year we win the thing and get a four seed. So it didn't matter then. It matters now, I guess.
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.
That game two years ago, when we won 51-49 there? Yeah, I remember that. It's a tough place to play. But you have to steal a couple on the road (to win the Big Ten). It's going to be a grueling game. But you can't knock 'em off your schedule. You have to show up and play.
I'm just looking at Indiana on Sunday. You just have to worry about yourself. You have to win and see what happens.
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.
The second half we came out with more intensity.
The word is really getting out (about Iowa Central cross country). Both teams should be much stronger this year and we have a lot more depth to work with.
Elite? Oh, we're elite, most definitely. We've been one of the best in the country, man. We're elite, and if anyone wants to argue about that, they can argue with me to my face and I'll show them the facts.
Five rebounds, five assists, no turnovers. He played solid. He always plays solid.
Our experience is an advantage, but it's a team thing and can't just be two guys. You just try to tell the young guys how hard they have to play and how much they have to want to win. It's our job to deliver that message.
People raise their game at home. They're protecting their house. They just play well. ... I'm not scared of nothing. You just have to go in there believing you can win. It's all about confidence, no matter who you play.
Offensively it was one of our best games.
