Some guys who go through big emotional swings like that want to transfer or drop out. But he's doing a good job of adjusting and trying to help his team win, so I think that's great.
That's going to be a struggle between two teams trying to impose their wills on one another. If they can get it in the half-court set, they'll have the advantage.
Illinois is a physical team. Coach said to keep penetrating, keep trying to get to the line and open up things for the other players.
I was still trying to go to him.
I think he made up for the Stanford game.
Let's throw that one out the window and play Oregon.
He just couldn't get in the groove tonight. I have to thank my teammates for that.
People give me a lot of credit for being a team guy, but Bobby brought us a winning attitude. I never won a state championship.

There's always a weakness in every team. They have had a lot of games this season where they are down 15 and they come back. That just shows how dominating of a team they are, and it also shows that sometimes they are less focused for 40 minutes. That may leave the door open for us.
