That shows that they had to work for all their points. We put them into tough scoring positions, which is something they were not used to. Our guards did a good job of staying tight and trailing them.
ball basket far good job position white
As far as Marcus White goes, he did a good job for us, getting the ball in the basket and getting in good position down low.

They do a good job of penetrating into the defense and kicking it back out for someone to hit a three. They are a good basketball team.
ball beginning consistent far games happy job played playing road season shooting ten throughout toward
In the beginning of the year, I started out slow, but as the season went on, I started to find my groove. Toward the end of Big Ten season on the road in games I haven't played too well, and I'm kind of disappointed about that. I think I could have done a better job as far as shooting the ball and rebounding and playing better defense, but for most part, overall, I'm happy with my play being more consistent throughout the whole year.
good
Horner just went off and did a good job, he was on fire, and there was nothing you could do about it. It was just his night.
against best chance eight far game games losses might ncaa odds rather rebounds score six win wins
I'd rather score eight points, get like six rebounds a game and us win 20 games and go to the NCAA Tournament. I mean, there's still a chance we might be able to do that. The odds are against us. But as far as the wins and losses goes, I would rather have those than statistically having my best year.

I think that thought process will go through my mind whenever the season is over with, (then) I'll get to that. I'll have a lot of time on my hands without basketball, so I'll be able to reflect on that.
beat came due fact far finish floor game happened happy hard home last nobody played playing stuck team ten wants
This was a big game for us as far as playing our rival, IU, on our home floor and they came in here and beat us. To finish last in the Big Ten is something nobody ever wants to do, but I'm happy with our team due to the fact that they stuck with it and played hard through everything that's happened to us this year.
