dictate figure good happen letting missed offense shots teams today using
A lot of it has to do with using a lot of energy, and teams kind of figure out what we're doing. Today we did a good job. A lot of it has to do with letting our offense dictate our defense. We didn't let that happen too much. We missed shots and still got back on defense.
coming lottery obviously pick pro prospects six
They have four, five, six pro prospects on their team. They'll have a lottery pick coming off their bench. They're obviously more talented.
great home illinois knock mess michigan overlook people played playing state teams ten wisconsin year
They're a great team, they played Michigan State tough, they've been playing well at home. They're one of those teams that people overlook and at the end of the year they always knock off a Wisconsin or an Illinois and mess up the Big Ten running.
care dangerous smart
They're a dangerous team. They're smart and know how to take care of the ball. We're going to have to play solid.
basketball beat emotional game ready senior
That's why I'm not so emotional about it. It's more of a basketball game than Senior Night. If we don't come out ready to play, they're going to beat us.
coaches easier easy game maybe report scouting watch
That's fine. It's easy for us. We watch the same film and maybe the (last) game to see what we did right and wrong. The scouting report is the same. So it's easier on the coaches and easier on us.
good obviously
This is obviously not a very good feeling.
five halftime win
Someone told me I had five assists at halftime and I just laughed. It's nice, but the win is more important.

business care confidence hitting took
Dee was hitting everything. We had confidence in him and he took care of the business.
coach excited guys people taking
Coach has been on us. But the guys have been taking it pretty good. When you're winning, you kind of get cocky. You're like, 'Let's keep doing what we're doing.' Now people are more excited to learn. A lot of people are listening.
beat beats best character coach example gave good home keeping playing road run showing solid talks team win winning
Coach (Weber) always talks about how good of a team we can be. Like, he gave the example of how we beat Georgetown at home, and Georgetown beats Duke. I know it's a home win for us. But I think we're up there with some of the best teams. If we keep winning on the road and showing some character and keeping playing solid basketball, I think we can make a run at it.
looked needed obviously stay weird
They sprang it on us and it obviously worked. I think they were in kind of a weird zone. There were times when they were in a 1-3-1, it looked like, and times they were in a 2-3. They did everything they needed to do to stay in the game.
drawing except free game good great guess job shot took
I thought we did a great job on him. All he shot was a lot of free throws. He's a great player, but we took him out of his game for the most part except for the free throws. I guess he did a good job of getting in there and drawing the fouls.
