came great heart ohio win
We wanted to win real bad, as you can see. But in my heart, we can play with anybody. Ohio State, they're a great team, but we're a great team, too. We just came up short.
came close good guy humble impression
He's a humble guy and the first impression was a good one, I thought. The first thing he came in and said was that it was all about the team, and that's good because we're pretty close after all we went through.
came hard hard-work work
All the hard work we put in came to the (forefront).
ball care coach couple diving fight great hard hole next putting year
We just need to go out there and fight as hard as we can for coach and for ourselves. We are the ones that are going to be putting the ball in the hole and diving on the floor. There are little things that we have to take care of the next couple weeks. I think that we can get it done, and it can still be a great year for us.
playing run
We weren't playing the way we (had been) playing. We were playing just to run out the clock.
matters struggles ten winning
We had our struggles, but I think we had our struggles at the right time. Now we're winning games, and that's all that matters going into the Big Ten tournament.
felt game guess hit hurts lose losing move rather situation team
Sometimes in a situation like that, you'd just rather lose that game by 40 than to lose it by one like that. Losing like that, it hurts me more. To me, I felt like I let my team down. I know I could have hit that shot, but I guess you've just got to move on.
defense fights-and-fighting games second shoot team trying ways win
We have to keep fighting, trying to find ways to win the game. As a team we know we can win games if we shoot in the 30s -- if we play defense like we did in the second half.
bench guys high kid played school since spark team
That's the way I've played since I was a kid in AAU and in high school. We need guys that can come off the bench and give the team a spark and make a run. That's what I did tonight.
next whoever
Whoever we play next week, we know we can go in and get a win.
felt great stay
It felt great to get to this point. But we have to stay humble.
half last second slip team won
We went up to Connecticut last year. We should've won the game. We were up 15 in the second half and let it slip away, and Connecticut has the same team this year. We've got a better team. It's going to be an interesting game.
education eligible grades last talked tv
Without an education, they won't ever see us on TV because we wouldn't be eligible to play. So, you've got to have an education to even get this far. But like I talked to them last year, it's all about getting the grades first.
deal gone pressure
The pressure is gone now. We know what the deal is now, so we just have to go out there and play.
