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.
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.
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.
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.
best highest obviously possibly run team ten together tournament
We obviously want to be Big Ten champs, and we want to go into the (NCAA) Tournament with the highest seed. We want to be the best team we can possibly be, and make a run at it in the tournament. I think we can do that, but we've got to put it together in (regular-season) games, especially on the road.

I will not be (strutting around) about it. It is no big deal as long as our team wins.

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.

You have to feel proud of your teammates for coming back and playing. At Iowa we just gave up. Tonight, we didn't give up.
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.

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.

It's not a very good feeling. If it happens one more time, we're going home for the rest of the year.
