trust
It's frustrating because you want to be out there. But you have to trust your teammates.
atmosphere heat job takes
It's a whole different atmosphere now. It takes a whole lot of heat off me. They make my job so much easier.
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.
good last loss next situation step
It's not a good feeling. Now we're in a situation where our next loss is our last one. We have to step it up.
bend game hand hit hurt three weeks
It's just a new thing every day. I hurt my hand three weeks ago and had it X-rayed. Then I got it hit in the game (Saturday) and it swelled up again. I can't really bend it.
families nice parents playing
It's a nice place for the families to go. We're just going to play basketball. I know if we were playing on Mars, our parents would have come anyway.

It really hasn't settled in yet that it's almost over. It seems like yesterday that we just got here.
focused home last lost penn race season state staying ten year
It's more about what our season is this year. Last year is in the past. You don't think about it too much. We're focused more on having lost to Penn State at home and staying in the race for the Big Ten championship.
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.
denied good harder job passes played playing switched taking
They switched everything and denied passes and did a good job of taking away what we wanted to do. We just played a lot harder when we were playing well.
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.
good obviously
This is obviously not a very good feeling.
