difference hard legs wind
We've adapted. You can tell a difference in wind and conditioning at first. We went pretty hard (Wednesday). We have all day (today) to get our legs back. It shouldn't be a problem.
felt last played playing second shown week
It felt like I played like it this week in practice, just cherishing every second on the court. Playing like it's my last possession, going after the ball. There's a lot more at stake, and I feel like I've shown that.
beaten close coming digging mentality offensive solid stay team
It's just a lackadaisical mentality -- coming out and not being solid on the offensive end and defensively not digging down and making stops. We let a team we should have beaten handily stay close with us.
blocking combat defensive excellent five guys lots men playing taking
I know they're an excellent team. (They have an) inside-outside game; lots of length; lots of ability. They're men underneath, and we have to combat that by playing smart, blocking out and taking five guys to the defensive glass.
regardless rest season seems
They always play us harder. It always seems like they come out and give us a game, regardless of the way the rest of the season is going.
assembly beaten confidence good great team
I don't think our confidence should have dropped, but it has because of the way we've been beaten on the road. We're a good team, and a great team here in Assembly Hall. It's going to be a war.
clicking defensive outside plays
We have to be clicking on all cylinders, and that's our game, is making three-pointers, with our spacing and Marco inside. We have to make threes to be in this game. It's got to be a defensive lockdown, make your outside shots, and Marco has to make plays for us.
game good huge ourselves prove road showing wins
We need a road win. Road wins are huge. Every win is huge in the Big Ten. It makes this game more important because we have not had a good showing on the road, and we need to prove ourselves if we want to win the Big Ten.
