game neat pause switch watch woke
I woke up and I was upset. A lot of times I watch tape, and I pause it and see what's going on. That would have been a neat game to switch over and see what he's doing.
fortunate games grind won
We were very fortunate to grind out a win. We got it the way we won a lot of games this year, with our defense.
games michigan since talk talking
Since we got back from Michigan State, we didn't just talk about Indiana. We started talking about this week. We've grouped these two games together.
anxiety basketball brink feeling games good knowing maybe needed nerves pressure seems team ten winning year
Maybe your anxiety and nerves are different. Every year it seems we're on the brink and not knowing how many games we had to win or in '01 knowing we needed to win all of them to get in. It's a different feeling this year. There's the pressure that we think we're a pretty good basketball team and winning one of the two Big Ten championships is out there.
game himself led needed team took
This was the game where we needed him to score. He took it on himself to do that. He led the team today.
against five game top wins
This was a big game in a lot of ways. If we can get five wins against Top 25 teams, that's pretty special. You can't take that away, and it bodes well when we look at the postseason.

This was a big game in a lot of ways.

It's two very pivotal home games for us. But if we're fortunate enough to get them, it's been one heck of a regular season and we try to get some momentum going into the Big Ten tournament.
difficult games hard homes league losing played regardless risk road run shots top win
It's very difficult to win road games, but it's hard to win homes games (too). If, all of a sudden, you don't play well -- a game where you don't make shots or where you're not on top of your game defensively -- you really run the risk of losing regardless of where the game is being played ... This league is very demanding, very difficult.
game great hard journey last seniors
It was a great journey this year. It's hard for the seniors that their last game had to be like this.
care game nightmare
It will be a nightmare game for us if we don't take care of the backboard and don't take care of transition.
game home
We've still got another home game to play. Colgate is a very experienced team.
almost best conference country games heck home six
We've been in first place for almost six weeks. That's a heck of a stretch. We're 20-8 and 9-5 in the best conference in the country and we have two big home games left.
came everybody focus games nine since tells
We're 7-2 in the nine games since that came up. That tells everybody where our focus has been.
