I think every team comes out and just gives it their all and plays good team basketball, and we've got to be focused every game and come out with intensity.
The transition game opens up a lot of things. We got a lot of easy baskets.
People raise their game at home. They're protecting their house. They just play well. ... I'm not scared of nothing. You just have to go in there believing you can win. It's all about confidence, no matter who you play.
That game two years ago, when we won 51-49 there? Yeah, I remember that. It's a tough place to play. But you have to steal a couple on the road (to win the Big Ten). It's going to be a grueling game. But you can't knock 'em off your schedule. You have to show up and play.
That's the way the tournament goes. Wherever they send you, you've just got to go and play.
They made it tough. They bumped and they played physical. But I missed some shots, too.
I'm going to miss putting on that Illinois jersey.
They have looked very well so far in practice. I am very excited to see what they can do this year.
Every team is going to play hard. The intensity level is so high I can't explain it.
He's a great talent and he likes to talk trash.
Guys are a little confused, and coach is yelling all the time. It's going to be a grind. The Big Ten is a grind-out conference.
I'm going to shoot 'em, anyway. I'm going to go 1-for-9, 1-for-30, 1-for-50. If I don't make one more shot this season, I'm still going to play the way I play and do the things I do.
The girls have been working very hard. They all have ran for the past four years and will be tremendous assets for our program.
He wanted me to do more and get involved by running off screens. I wasn't doing that, and he got in my ear. ... That's what coach wants, and I have to work on it.
