clicking figure proved struggling team
We proved what kind of team we are many times this year, just things aren't clicking now. We're struggling for answers, and I think once we figure those out, we'll be back on track.
bit couple days excuse few four guards hopefully improve learn next playing prep size tough year
We had four guards out there. They had four guards, too, but they had a little bit of size on us. It's tough playing with four guards. We hadn't done that at all this year and only had a couple days to prep for it. It's still not an excuse with the rebounding. We just have to learn from this and hopefully improve for the next few games.
test
We know they'll try to get after us like that. This is going to be a test of our composure.
fighting fights-and-fighting game gonna practice quitting ready shows
We're not done. We're not quitting at all. We're gonna practice (today) and keep fighting and get ready for a big game with Michigan. We're gonna come out and play hard. It shows what kind of person you are when you fight back from things like this.
business care game great played preparing record start teams
We don't know much about them, but they've played pretty much everybody, all the great teams around the country. Their record really doesn't tell what they are. We got to take care of business in that game and start preparing for the Big Ten.
knock
Hopefully. I'm going to have to do something to knock me out quick.
advantage four guards guys harder helps opportunity playing spot step took
He took advantage of his opportunity tonight. It helps us out a lot. It's a lot harder than you think playing with four guards out there sometimes. If we can get some guys to step up at that four spot it will help us out a lot.
anybody reality ten
Anybody can say this is just another Big Ten game. But in reality, it's not.
bad forced tried
I probably forced it. I just tried to make a play and made some bad decisions.
aggressive defense extra gives guys honest keeps laughed looking playing relying score shot team three
I kind of laughed at that a little bit, but it was true. When I'm playing aggressive and looking for my shot and scoring, it keeps the defense honest and gives our team an extra boost. Relying on just three guys to score 20, 25 a night, it's tough.
came character guess shows win
I guess it shows the character of this team, the way we came back. But we didn't finish. That's all that matters, if you win or lose.
bad complaints-and-complaining extra few focus last minutes realize solid stay sucking throughout wear
I just have to keep sucking it up. I'm not complaining at all, I realize that I do have to suck it up more. Even mentally, if I wear down a little bit, I still have to keep focus the last few minutes of the game. I have to keep the extra focus not to make a turnover or make a bad play, just stay solid throughout the whole game.
effort gave maximum name
Not everyone gave maximum effort and I'm not going to name names.
best defensive gonna great guards point
It's gonna be a great challenge, Dee Brown's one of the best point guards in the country. They're a great defensive team, and we're really gonna have to prepare.
