We have no one to blame. That's what I wanted the kids to know.

We have no more information on him. He's out indefinitely.
bring choice fight game spirit tough
We have no choice and it's going to be a tough game. It's going to be a competitive game and I'll be very disappointed if we don't bring the fight and spirit that we had here tonight.
basketball grow love michigan position
We've been able to grow together. I love that about this group. They've done a lot to be able to put Michigan basketball in the position it deserves, which is a winning, first-class program.
believe chances effort focus front healthy helpful hurt loss ncaa puts somehow takes terrific together tournament win works
I don't think one win or one loss puts you in or takes you out. I really don't believe it works that way. I think the thing that is helpful for us and healthy for us is to focus on what's in front of us. If we can somehow put together a terrific effort and win that first game, then I can say it doesn't hurt our chances for making the NCAA tournament field.
conference focus game hunt proximity stay won
For us, we know the rivalry, the proximity and that we hadn't won this game in a long time, so we're pleased. The focus for us was to try to stay in the hunt for the conference title.
beat conference energy life naive passion season signs
For us to show the signs of life and energy and passion and defense, that's what we needed. I think you go through some stretches where the season can beat you down a little bit. I think it's naive to think this conference can't do that to you.
focused front happened looking moved
For us right now, as I told our kids, we've moved on from what happened in the past. We're focused on what's in front of us. We put in the effort, and we are looking forward.
basketball ended hurt left win
If it ended tonight, I think we'd be in. There's a lot of basketball left to play but it doesn't hurt to have this win on our resume.
absolute competitor foot since stepped
He's been everything. He's been an absolute high-level competitor since the day he stepped foot on campus.
aggressive ball courtney formula goes less needs offensive terms
He's doing his part when he's being doubled. He just needs to be a little more aggressive off the ball in terms of when the ball goes up that he go get it and offensive rebound. Sometimes if you feel you're being doubled, you're less aggressive and that's not the formula we want from Courtney after the double-team.
allow hopefully opportunity week work
Hopefully this is a week that will allow us the opportunity to work on fundamentals.
difference hunter solid
Hunter was a big difference for us ... I thought he had a really, really solid game.
gave kept plays
He was just outstanding. He gave us all that he could give us tonight. He kept making plays and making shots.
