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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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

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.

extra notch step
We have to step it up that extra notch and play hard.
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.
