I miss football a lot. Football made me a better teammate basketball-wise because I knew I needed my line and my receivers to block for me. Once I realized how much I needed my teammates to make me look good, that helped me as a basketball player.
You mean so much to me. When someone wears my number, I think it represents our whole team. My teammates make me better. My coaches make me better.
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.
I don't see anything we'd be feuding about, ... What's there for him and me to be mad about?
Right when it left my hand I thought it was good, then I saw it was long. I usually make them. It just didn't go in for me.
