active against carrying energy hit pressure takes time
Being more active takes a lot of the pressure off Dee. He's been carrying us lately. I wanted to come out with energy and hit the boards. I didn't play well the first time against them.
bench calm nervous sitting
I never get nervous for games. I don't know why, but I couldn't calm down. I was even sitting on the bench with two fouls being nervous.

He's expanding his game. He's been working hard in practice. He tries stuff he's not been able to do in a couple years.

He's the same size as Roger, and he's a little quicker. He's amazing. He has a tremendous vertical jump. He can jump out of the gym. He's up there with Brian in jumping ability.
came casual grasp hard penn people played ready state
I'm disappointed and surprised, because you'd think people would have been ready to play. We played lackadaisically in the first half, and that's not acceptable. After the Penn State game, it is hard to grasp that we came out casual today.
played seniors supposed
He played great. He made the big play. He did what seniors are supposed to do.
families nice parents playing
It's a nice place for the families to go. We're just going to play basketball. I know if we were playing on Mars, our parents would have come anyway.

It really hasn't settled in yet that it's almost over. It seems like yesterday that we just got here.
focused home last lost penn race season state staying ten year
It's more about what our season is this year. Last year is in the past. You don't think about it too much. We're focused more on having lost to Penn State at home and staying in the race for the Big Ten championship.
bench game great hard job night starters win
The bench did a great job. The other starters did an unbelievable job just to make our night special. I think they consciously wanted to go out there and play hard for us, and to win another game in the conference.
gets gonna hits screens starts swagger
Once he starts hitting, you just set screens for him and he does the rest. When he hits a big shot, he gets that swagger and you just know it's gonna happen.
bend game hand hit hurt three weeks
It's just a new thing every day. I hurt my hand three weeks ago and had it X-rayed. Then I got it hit in the game (Saturday) and it swelled up again. I can't really bend it.
coming focused last loss lost penn race season state staying ten week year
It's more of what our season this year had. I think last year is in the past. You don't really think about it too much. I think we're more focused on (The fact) we lost to Penn State at home. We're more focused on coming off a loss and coming off a bye week and just staying in the race for the Big Ten championship.
trust
It's frustrating because you want to be out there. But you have to trust your teammates.
