We struggled, and a lot of that credit goes to Marquette. But we finished it off, and that's a sign of a really good team.
finish hell schedule top
In this conference, if you finish in a grinding, 16-game schedule at the top of the conference, you're a hell of a program.
answer clean finished questions
I think in recruiting, it establishes us. I don't have to answer questions about, Are you going to be there? Are you going to be there when I'm finished playing?' It makes it very clean in recruiting.

That is nice for him, and last year in the tournament he struggled. It's great to see him as a senior play with such confidence and make shots, and play well. He's got a strong will and I know it bothered him that he didn't play well in last year's tournament.

They just don't fear failure. They've been through so much. They're going to play you for 40 minutes and whatever happens, happens.

On behalf of Allan, his family and our basketball family, I would like to thank everyone for the well-wishes and prayers Allan has received in the last 36 hours. Obviously Allan is very fortunate to have come through a potentially dangerous injury with these positive results.
