far fighting kept lose matter sure
We just kept fighting. We just kept on fighting no matter what. I wasn't sure what was going to happen, but we didn't want to come that far and then lose the game.
chance collapse daniel high knew running time tried waiting
I knew the time was running out and I just tried to get it high and give it a chance to go in. I knew they (Irish) were going to collapse on Daniel and I was waiting for the pass.
came limit
I just came out and give it everything I had, but it (ankle) did limit me a little.
game hard knowing pulled watching within
We had the game within two or something, and then they pulled away. It's hard in there watching the game and knowing that you can't go out there and help.
close illinois morale played stretch
We don't want any more morale victories. We don't want to just come close. We've come close too many times. We want to win. We played hard, but down the stretch Illinois made more plays.
consistent course happen player trying
I've been trying to come out and be a consistent player for the most part, and when it doesn't happen for you, of course it's frustrating.
chance close coming game last position top turnaround year
This is a big turnaround from last year. We didn't even come this close last year to being in the top position of the Big Ten. We said coming into this game that we had a chance to be in first place.
defense missed rhythm
After I missed the first shot, I think I started rushing. I never did get a rhythm offensively in the game, so that's all that happened. It wasn't anything the defense was doing.
bad
I can't explain. It's just bad luck, I guess.
flow looked practiced ready regardless
It's just getting back into the flow of things. When I first went out there, I thought I was fine. I practiced yesterday. I thought it was going to feel good. Regardless of what it looked like, I think I'm ready to go ... I should be all right for Tuesday.
beat compete court great hard home
It's going to be a great game. We beat them on their home court so I know they're going to come here and compete real hard and try to get us back for that. We're ready.
again brings chemistry contagious found great hard plays rhythm success
It's great having him back, because he plays so hard and brings a contagious kind of energy. We've found our rhythm again as a team, and the chemistry is back, and I think he's a big part of that. He's a big part of our success in this tournament.
daniel finding good great kept run spot tried
I tried to run the land, spot up and Daniel kept on finding me. We have a lot of good shooters and Daniel has been great at getting us the ball.
felt glad seniors
It just felt good. I'm glad our seniors are going to have another game.
