final great guard point teams
You look at all of the teams that make it to the Final Four, they have great guard play. Not just point guard play, but guard play.
bigger glue guy matt people plays role team
Matt plays a bigger role on our team than most people realize. He's the glue guy for us.
consistent shooting team tonight year
I think it's kind of a fluke, it's never really happened. We've been a pretty consistent free-throw shooting team all year and tonight they just didn't fall.
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.
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.
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.
flashes forget looked season signs team type win year
It's disappointing. We showed flashes and signs this year of what type of team we can be, a top-five team. Other times, we looked bad, just inconsistent. But we got a new season now. We got to forget about this and just try to win some games.
bad defense forced tried
The defense was scrambling. I probably forced it. I just tried to make a play. It was a bad decision. Anything would have been better in that situation.
I don't know (what) you can do about it. You've just got to keep shooting.
brown loose shutting
Shutting down Dee Brown was huge. We trailed him all night. We never wanted him to get loose on us.
behind build coach confidence couple days game good high job took tough trying
My confidence is high right now, I just keep trying to build from game to game. It was tough for a couple days (after that loss), but coach did a good job of getting it behind us. It took a lot out of us.
beating consistency good shown three
We've shown how good we can be, beating three top-10 teams. It's just a consistency thing with us.
ball inside jump settled shots
We settled for a lot of jump shots and didn't get to the free-throw line. We didn't get the ball inside enough.
deal gets guess paul
Paul gets them all the time. I guess it's not that big a deal for him. But it's big for me.
