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.

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.

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

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.

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.

We focused on him a lot, but we're going to have to do a better job than that from here on out.
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.
