We could have played better. We didn't play our best, but we stuck it out and we won.
We just didn't finish the job. They came out and played the good zone and it really affected us tonight.
We came out and played well in the first half. We just didn't finish them off in the second half.
We didn't relax. It's a road game. If they didn't come back, they're not protecting their home court.
There is just nobody talking about it, no buzz at all. The play on the court is better now than it ever has been. It's a pretty good product, but it's like nobody seems to care.
There is just nobody talking about it, no buzz at all,
When we come out and he plays aggressive, that opens it up for other players. When he plays like that, the sky's the limit.
When he got back in, he made his presence known.
I expected us to go to California. You have to expect the worst.
He was so nice, a guy you'd want to be around, not as an athlete but just as a person. He had raw talent. He was a guy I wanted to play with.
He makes sure our faith in God is still there.
I hang with E.B. (Halsey), Mel (Melvin Bryant) and J.D. (Jason Davis). I beat them in video games, and they beat me in video games. Those are my guys. They know I played football and that I have a special love for football. Illinois is a football school as well as a basketball school, so I have to show them respect.
I feel that we want to accomplish a lot. I think we got the toughest bracket with a lot of good teams on our side. Last year expectations were high, but I think they're just as high this year.
If they tell me to go back to school then that's what I'll do. That's OK. I'm OK with that.
