That was probably one of the best offensive exhibitions I’ve ever seen. Like he said, we had confidence in him and he took care of business.

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...

They are a great team. We’re going to have to go in there and steal one. But to win the Big Ten, you have to go on the road and win some big games.

We’re going to look awful on the film. You feel like you played well during the game and then you go watch the film. It’s about an hour long, and Coach is stopping it every...

I don’t usually get nervous for games, but I was nervous. I was sitting on the bench with two fouls and couldn’t get calmed down.

It’s not a very good feeling. If it happens one more time, we’re going home for the rest of the year.

Our fans are spoiled. We’re 20-4 and people are acting like it’s the worst year in history. We have two home games in a row now and we have to be ready for them. We...

This is obviously not a very good feeling.

They’re a great team, they played Michigan State tough, they’ve been playing well at home. They’re one of those teams that people overlook and at the end of the year they always knock off a...

We took a punch in the stomach and couldn’t get back. You have to come ready to play. Some people came, and some people didn’t.

You’ve got to go back and see what you did wrong. I thought we played pretty well and got a little better. But we’re going to look awful on film. … Midway through the season...

It doesn’t feel good. It was a fun ride, but right now it doesn’t feel that good.

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...

They sprang it on us and it obviously worked. I think they were in kind of a weird zone. There were times when they were in a 1-3-1, it looked like, and times they were...

I think we just sucked it up a little bit and one thing led to another.

It’s not a good feeling. Now we’re in a situation where our next loss is our last one. We have to step it up.

I’m excited to be working with Mark.

A lot of it has to do with using a lot of energy, and teams kind of figure out what we’re doing. Today we did a good job. A lot of it has to do...

They’re a dangerous team. They’re smart and know how to take care of the ball. We’re going to have to play solid.

That’s why I’m not so emotional about it. It’s more of a basketball game than Senior Night. If we don’t come out ready to play, they’re going to beat us.

We are going to need a little help. We need Ohio State to lose but I hope (we can repeat). I need another ring.

We focused on him a lot, but we’re going to have to do a better job than that from here on out.

Coach has been on us. But the guys have been taking it pretty good. When you’re winning, you kind of get cocky. You’re like, ‘Let’s keep doing what we’re doing.’ Now people are more excited...

We lose one more game, we’re going home, and that means Dee and I, our careers are over. We have to come ready to play as a team.

If you look down our bench, they’re doing what we expected. Sometimes they have limited minutes, but they do a good job of coming through when we need it. They’ve done a good job of...

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...

I’m glad it’s over. I wanted to go into Michigan State not having to answer questions about it. I’ll be happy about it when I leave, but for now we have more important things to...

Someone told me I had five assists at halftime and I just laughed. It’s nice, but the win is more important.

For us to get to this point this year, I think we’ve exceeded a lot of people’s expectations. I think a lot of people thought that because we lost Deron [Williams] and we lost Roger...

I thought we were going to come back and win it. You’ve always got to have confidence.

We obviously want to be Big Ten champs, and we want to go into the (NCAA) Tournament with the highest seed. We want to be the best team we can possibly be, and make a...

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.

I’m just going to try to enjoy the ride I’ve had playing with Dee, the coaches and the team. That’s what’s going to make me happy right now, thinking about the run I’ve had here.

We have to step it up that extra notch and play hard.

Dee was hitting everything. We had confidence in him and he took care of the business.

They switched everything and denied passes and did a good job of taking away what we wanted to do. We just played a lot harder when we were playing well.

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.

We looked at the scoreboard and knew we had to pick it up. We took (their run) and then kind of bounced back.

The young guys are seeing it’s going to get harder and harder as we go on. This is a good learning experience. But if we play like we did [against Michigan], we’re going to get...

We just have to get ready to play Thursday. None of the records matter anymore. No one will remember if you won your conference or your conference tournament. It’s all how you finish. That how...

Hopefully they’ll be able to keep going and the program will get better. Coach Weber does a great job of recruiting and a great job developing players. They have a good base with a majority...

He played great. He made the big play. He did what seniors are supposed to do.

Against Michigan State, we just played lackadaisical. Here, it’s a different setting. You hit one shot, and the crowd gets into it.

Last year, there was a little more pressure. We’re more of an underdog. We want to be special and get back to the Final Four.

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.

We have to win it to stay in the running. We’ve been making steps. Hopefully, we can go to Wisconsin and pull it off and play the same way we do here.

I think we played harder. That’s why we were able to get back into it. But we had more game to play. We had to keep playing.

I thought it was just spoiled mustard.

This shows we’re making progress. This is one of the first times we put a team away. Maybe Oregon. But we really made a statement that we want to get better. And we are.

He was all over me. Once I met Dee, I was pretty locked into Illinois.
