This was the game where we needed him to score. He took it on himself to do that. He led the team today.
alex knew needed terrific
We just knew we needed about two minutes. We went with Alex and he was terrific in those two minutes.
anxiety basketball brink feeling games good knowing maybe needed nerves pressure seems team ten winning year
Maybe your anxiety and nerves are different. Every year it seems we're on the brink and not knowing how many games we had to win or in '01 knowing we needed to win all of them to get in. It's a different feeling this year. There's the pressure that we think we're a pretty good basketball team and winning one of the two Big Ten championships is out there.
came couple finish glass good half hurt inability leads offensive
I thought we had a couple of good leads in each half and we didn't finish either. It came down to our inability to keep them off the offensive glass and turnovers. That really hurt us.
good start
I thought this was a good way to start the tournament.
goes opens percent
It goes without being said how important he is to our offense. Him being 100 percent opens things up for us defensively.
defending defensive effort exciting good great improvement job team
I think we are a better defending team. I still think we have a long way to go and we have done a lot of improvement in that area. That is exciting because I think we have done a pretty good job through 17 games. All-in-all it has been a great team effort in the defensive end.
family gets hits public runs soon ways
I think there are some things that you feel personally, from a family standpoint, that when it hits the public it runs a whole different avenue. And it gets out there in ways that shouldn't even be out there. I'd just as soon keep the whole thing personal.
decent gave jeff leads offensive plays shooter shut wants
Jeff plays all 40 minutes, leads us on the offensive end, but he wants to try to do what he can to shut down their shooter and he did a decent job. He gave us a chance.
brown imposed jeff job less
Jeff Horner has imposed his will on this tournament. I thought the job he did on Brown was outstanding. What he did (against the Gophers) was no less than incredible.
imposed jeff
Jeff Horner has imposed his will on this tournament.
good hard jeff players
Jeff can get going. Jeff's a very good player. And when good players get going, they're hard to stop.
hard jeff minnesota particular stop
Jeff can get going. I don't think it was any particular thing that Minnesota didn't do or that we did. It was just hard for them to stop him, like it was hard for us to stop Vince.
