advantage five four gives good league teams win
Is that good or bad? The league is so talented, I don't know what advantage it gives you. There are about four or five teams in this league that are good enough to win it.
avoided game good great played week win
We played tough, we played with great determination. This was a very important game for us. Not just because we avoided going 0-3 (in the Big 12), but it is good to win and then have a week off to practice.

We feel fortunate to win this game. But you know what? Five months from now nobody's going to ask you won it. We're 19-6 and now we move forward.

I came to Indiana for one reason, I think you can win championships at Indiana. You think of Indiana basketball and you not only think of tradition but championship tradition.

I came to Indiana for one reason: I think you can win championships at Indiana. I think together we can do some special things at Indiana University.
easily game good hit week win
This was really important. We could be 0-3, if Terrell doesn't hit that shot. But we could easily be 3-0, too. It was good to win this game and have a week off.
adversity both call crazy deserved free missed played teams throws turn win
It was a crazy game, that's why they call it Bedlam. We missed a lot of free throws and had opportunities. Both teams deserved to win this game. We had adversity at every turn and played to win.
attribute good great kids playing win
We're playing good enough to win, and that's a great attribute to have. Our kids know how to win games.
anybody close lose win
I think a big part of tonight's win was having been in so many of these things. I didn't see anybody lose their composure, I didn't see anybody lose their poise. I think we're getting better at being in these close situations.
america beat nice sure team win
For our team and what we need right now, I'm not sure I could have scripted it any better. It would have been nice to win by 25, but I don't think there's a team in America that could beat (Oral Roberts) by 25.
dice roll
We just had to roll the dice and keep Terrell in there.
boards extra gave happen kicked
We just gave them too many extra possessions. They kicked out butts on the boards and that doesn't happen very often.
best game knew lost shooting
We lost a one-point game and a two-point game without our best shooter. I knew when we got him back we'd be a lot better shooting team.
clock good shot sign
We had them at the end of the shot clock a lot tonight, but Jackson, he just made big plays. That's the sign of a good player.
