definitely half halves second tale tonight
It was a tale of two halves tonight for us. The second half definitely made the difference.
beginning extra felt great played team
We felt like we were back as a team like we were at the beginning of the year. We made the extra pass, we got a lot more physical, we played team defense, got some great stops, made some big shots.
good looks seed
I thought we were about a No. 7 or a No. 8. But a No. 6 is a good seed for us. We are going to Utah, and it looks like we got a good draw.
focused game needs points
We're not going to get too focused on how many points he scores; there is still a game that needs to be played.
anyone best guard leave slowing talented team tough
This is a talented team and we can't leave anyone open. We need to make it tough for them to guard us, and then do the best we can on slowing them down.
defense games great supposed wins
Defense wins games and championships. You can see that. We know that. As long as we play defense the way it's supposed to be played, we have a great chance.
coach davis reason wherever
Coach Davis is my coach; he's the only reason I'm here. Hopefully, I can be with him wherever he goes.
hitting knocking looks open start
I think we had some open shots, some open looks -- we just weren't knocking them down. All we did was start hitting some open shots.
earned respect sixth
I think we earned some respect by getting a sixth seed. And if we didn't, we'll go out and try to earn some more.
focus game trying
I said it. But we're just trying to focus on the game here.
knocked left vertical
I went up and got it. I don't know how. It was pretty high, like a 40-inch vertical or something like that. But I went and got it and they left me open. I just jumped up and knocked it down.
business care difficult everywhere extra fans great home job road seems tough winning
Our fans do a great job of making this a tough place to play, and it's just so important that you take care of business at home. Winning at home is extra important in the Big Ten, because everywhere we go it seems like it's very difficult to get road wins.
gave gets hard spark time works
He works hard every time he gets in their. Every time he gets in, he does something good. He gave us a big spark tonight.
coming
I already made it. I'm not coming back.
