battle game guys percent realize starting
Every game is going to be a battle and you have to play 100 percent every time. I think the young guys are starting to realize that.
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.
bad feeding feeling great guys home hope job lose lost pride type understanding
We know the feeling of having lost at home. That's the type of pride Dee and I try to take into every game. The other guys have done a great job feeding off of us and kind of understanding it. It's a bad feeling to lose at home, and we hope they never have to.
reality play guy
Coach Bruce Weber told me in a meeting that all I have to do is play pretty well. The rest of the guys are doing well now. It takes a lot of pressure off Dee and especially myself. Luther and Deron and all the assists and rebounds and all the points that were lost, somebody has to make them up. In reality, you can't do all that.
against playing practiced ready stuff
I like playing against them and we just went through their stuff and practiced for what they do. So we should be able to get ready in a hurry.
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.
bench game great hard job night starters win
The bench did a great job. The other starters did an unbelievable job just to make our night special. I think they consciously wanted to go out there and play hard for us, and to win another game in the conference.
gets gonna hits screens starts swagger
Once he starts hitting, you just set screens for him and he does the rest. When he hits a big shot, he gets that swagger and you just know it's gonna happen.
against crowd gets hit michigan played
Against Michigan State, we just played lackadaisical. Here, it's a different setting. You hit one shot, and the crowd gets into it.
good happens home rest
It's not a very good feeling. If it happens one more time, we're going home for the rest of the year.
answer care glad happy michigan questions state
I'm glad it's over. I wanted to go into Michigan State not having to answer questions about it. I'll be happy about it when I leave, but for now we have more important things to take care of.
outside post total work
I'm not going to be a total post player. I'm not big enough. I have to work on my outside game.
came casual grasp hard penn people played ready state
I'm disappointed and surprised, because you'd think people would have been ready to play. We played lackadaisically in the first half, and that's not acceptable. After the Penn State game, it is hard to grasp that we came out casual today.
coaches enjoy happy playing ride run thinking
I'm just going to try to enjoy the ride I've had playing with Dee, the coaches and the team. That's what's going to make me happy right now, thinking about the run I've had here.
