forward games minutes played power
Most of the games I started at the three, but I played like 30 minutes at the power forward spot.
both games trying wins
Those are two big games for us trying to get to the tournament. We need both of those wins to get in.
changed game
I don't think it's changed at all. It's always going to be a big rivalry. It's a must-win game for me.
coach game illinois rushing shots slow
I was rushing shots, like in the Illinois game. I just slowed my game down. That's what Coach told me to do -- slow down and take the same shots I'd been taking.
feels game hopefully oh walk
Oh yeah, I'm playing. It's day-to-day, but hopefully I'll be back on Thursday. It feels pretty good. After the game I couldn't walk, but (yesterday) I can walk so that's pretty good.
full games good reach win
I feel like this a lot after games. Sometimes we win games and we haven't done everything we need to do. That can be a good thing, as long as we reach our full potential.

We're not going to get too focused on how many points he scores; there is still a game that needs to be played.
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.
focus game trying
I said it. But we're just trying to focus on the game here.
couple effort games good last
The last couple of games we really hadn't had the effort that I think we need to be a good team. I don't know what we need to do to get to that position, but we need to find out quick.
best facing practice prepare team
We just prepare in practice as if we're facing the best team in the country.
against ball brought defensive feeling felt full good shot
Feeling pretty good. I shot around on it today. I did some defensive slides. I was guarding D.J. full court. I brought the ball up against him, and it felt pretty good when I was going up.
question win
There's no question you want to win this one more than the others.
knocked open
I was open. It was like any other shot. I was open and I knocked it down.
