fatality finished kept records since time
We just finished 2005 without a fatality in Illinois. We haven't had one for two consecutive years. That's the first time since records started being kept in 1882 that's been accomplished.
defense definitely gave halfway headache
It gave me a headache halfway through, but I got through it. The defense was definitely in the right place at the right time.
great involved jason job kevin nice ran score settling shots
I thought we did a nice job of settling down and we ran some great sets. We got Jason (Foster) involved and got Kevin some shots and when we do that we can score some points.

Troy has trained well and he's ready for the competition. He knows what it takes to be a champion.

It's hard to keep up with him, though.
blowing good sold sounds totally
It sounds like a good thing to me, but you don't necessarily want it blowing into your back yard. For now, I'm not totally sold on it.

It was moral instincts. It was just wrong. I just wasn't going to let him get away with it. Plus, I was a member of the bank, and that was my money he was stealing, too.

Everybody's been walking around school singing the songs for three weeks.

The offense came out firing and that's the way we have to play. That losing streak was bad. We had to end it.
came doubt ended last losing offence streak year
That losing streak we had was bad. We went through it last year for the 19 games. We just had to end it again. Someone ended it. No doubt it didn't need to go any longer. The offence just came out firing.
ball far hit seen top
It's in my top 20. I haven't seen a ball hit that far in a while.
seemed shot time tyler
It seemed like every time we'd get it to one or two and get a shot at the rim, it seemed like it had a lid on it. We were down two and O'Rourke had a wide-open 3 that was in and out; down two and Tyler Gilbert had a 15-footer that was three-quarters of the way down and out.
chance experience favorites gained great next performed seems team win year
It seems like everyone performed really well. We never thought we had a chance to win it this year. We are such a young team that this year was more about experience. That is why it's great to see, when you look at the competition, everyone performed well and gained the experience they needed. Next year, we should be one of the favorites to win Big Ten.
relax relief
It's a lot of relief off of everyone's shoulders, ... Now, we can relax and just play.
