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.
I'm just looking at Indiana on Sunday. You just have to worry about yourself. You have to win and see what happens.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
