box
We have to go out there and box them out. They're as big as us, as physical, but I think we're better. We just have to keep them off the glass.
pieces putting start
We really have to start putting the pieces together.
almost focus hard indiana minutes playing regular season second start
The regular season is almost over, so we really have to start playing together. We have to keep our focus. We could've put Indiana away 10 minutes into the second half. We just have to go out there and play hard for 40 minutes.
active carry felt game groove hard kept played step trying washington
I was just trying to get in there and step it up and try to feel comfortable. As I played more, I felt like I was getting into a groove and I just played hard and kept going to the glass. We started getting more active in that Washington game and we wanted to carry it over to this game.
locker national until wait
That was the first thing I said when I got back in the locker room, I can't wait until Monday. It's a big game, national TV.
competition good played realizing start though took
We played down to our competition but they were really good, too. They had something to do with it. I give them credit. They play really good defense. Basically, we have to start realizing that we can't keep doing this - even though they never took the lead.
playing says syracuse win
We haven't been playing up to our capabilities lately. A win like this, a win at Syracuse ... I mean, we were up 24 in the Carrier Dome. That says something about who we are.
We were kind of disappointed about that. They're as big as us and as physical. I think we're better. We've just got to keep them off the glass.
april looking nice
It's good, but No. 1 is really for April in Indianapolis. That's what we're looking for. It's nice to have, but we're not really into that right now.
game hard last minutes played syracuse
It was like the last 15 minutes of the Syracuse game. We played hard and we got into each other.
bad basketball came game loss played road statement
That loss at Marquette was just a bad loss for us. We came back on the road at Syracuse. This was a statement game for us. We just went out there and played basketball and made a statement. The statement was that we're here and we're here to stay. We're not pushovers. We're not little boys. We're men out there.
basketball guess might people
During basketball, people get elbowed. I get elbowed in practice. It was nothing intentional. It's all in coach's hands. I guess they might appeal.
game happy men shut today win
This game was really a big game for us, a statement. They got real happy after that first win and we had to shut their mouths. Today we had to go out there and show them we're not what they think we are. We are men out there.
affected body felt game last limb loss syracuse
It really felt like it was the last game of the year. The Syracuse loss really affected me. I don't like that feeling. There's only one way out and that's give every limb of your body you've got.
