couple expanding hard stuff tries
He's expanding his game. He's been working hard in practice. He tries stuff he's not been able to do in a couple years.
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.
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.
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.
focused job
We focused on him a lot, but we're going to have to do a better job than that from here on out.
maybe progress shows statement team
This shows we're making progress. This is one of the first times we put a team away. Maybe Oregon. But we really made a statement that we want to get better. And we are.
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.
careers lose means ready
We lose one more game, we're going home, and that means Dee and I, our careers are over. We have to come ready to play as a team.
final last special
Last year, there was a little more pressure. We're more of an underdog. We want to be special and get back to the Final Four.
fun
It doesn't feel good. It was a fun ride, but right now it doesn't feel that good.
bad gives home lost motivation players team
Some of the players on our team have never lost at home. Dee (Brown) and I have only lost once, and that was a pretty bad feeling. It gives us motivation to win.
bit led sucked
I think we just sucked it up a little bit and one thing led to another.
everybody fed knew led looked scoreboard step
I think we just looked at the scoreboard and knew we had to step it up a little bit. One thing led to another, and everybody kind of fed off of one another.
game played
I think we played harder. That's why we were able to get back into it. But we had more game to play. We had to keep playing.
