It feels pretty good right now. They’re a tough team and we can celebrate right now but at the same time we still have a job to do and finish it off this weekend.

Last year, we had a lot of ups and downs. But as a team we rallied together. It just put us in a position where we see what we can do. I don’t want to...

We’ve been through a lot together these last three, four years. Just playing the schedule we’ve played, right now, we really don’t fear nobody. The seeding doesn’t matter as much to us. We just want...

We make a lot of dumb mistakes. Just mental errors down the stretch. Turnovers. Just mental lapses that come back and get us. … Giving somebody an open 3-pointer. Not being in the right place...

Yes we can. We’ve got to do something. Tired is no excuse.

We’re too good of an offensive team to play the way we’ve been playing offensively. Defensively, we have been better, but we have to put it all together and become a great team and stop...

Any player usually plays better at home. I’ve had some struggles on the road. But I’m going to try to fix those.

They’re scrappy. They play hard.

It was huge. They barely missed any free throws. They beat us on the free-throw line.

We’ve been through a lot together the past three or four years. We don’t fear anybody.

That was a huge portion of it. It was hard to get into a rhythm. But they took the fight to us early. Our offense was very stagnant today.

Give them credit, they played hard, and we didn’t play smart enough. A lot of times they beat us to the ball. That’s not supposed to happen.

There’s always opportunities to get someone the ball. But I’m not blaming anybody. We have to look at the film and see where I was open and I’m not really sure to be honest with...

As a scorer, you do got to have a short memory sometimes. It’s still a 40-minute game. You can’t stop shooting just because you miss a few.

I had more open looks than I’ve had all season. Those other two guys stepped up and saved me, no question. After the game I thanked them big-time.

We’ve been through things like this before. We’re not going to let this destroy our whole season.

This is a quality win for us. It’s something that we need going into the Big Ten. It’s something we can build on.

That means I’ve got to go in there and win. Flat out. Not being cocky or anything, we’ve got to go in there and take care of business.

Honestly, it was in the back of my mind. But at the same time, I know I’m an athlete. I know what I can and can’t do.

There’s always an opportunity to get somebody the ball, but you know, I’m not blaming nobody.

Beating a ranked team at their crib, that’s huge. For this Big Ten race, that’s something that we need. As a team, we have confidence we can win on the road now. It’s huge. That’s...

I never gave up on myself and I understood there’s plenty of time left in the season.

I couldn’t really hear him at the end because I was so involved in the game. But when I looked up, I saw him and when I could hear him, I listened.

I want it real bad. And I’m gonna do whatever it takes for us to get it this year. Nothing else is more important at this point of the year.

At this point, we’re all we’ve got. We’ve just got to play hard, that’s all I can say about that. … We’ve still got a chance to do some great things.

We didn’t do a good enough job getting the ball into Paul in the post. That hurt us. We never really got into anything offensively.

We never really got into a good flow as a team in the second half, and that really hurt us.

I think this would be a great opportunity to win a championship. During the regular season, we really didn’t get the chance that we wanted, so this is a great opportunity for us to make...

It felt good to come back and play at the crib. We ain’t had nobody root for us in a long time, so it felt great.

We couldn’t get into the stuff we wanted to do.

I felt I had to do something like that. I sat out for a long time and had to make up for it somehow. I had to take over the game and help Paul out.

We noticed that, but in reality we have to take it one game at a time.

It was a game we really needed to advance (in the standings) more than the rivalry.

We really didn’t do anything offensively.

It’s tough because it happened so fast. At one point we were up there, and now we’re at the bottom. It’s tough to swallow right now. … Things aren’t always gonna go your way. That’s...

We’re all going to let it go.

We just can’t allow ourselves to get down. This is when we have to band together.

I tell him he’s got to do what he’s got to do to take care of his body and play hard. Right now, it really don’t matter how tired he is. This is it right...

They’re a small team. But they’re scrappy and they play hard.

He’s one of the best big men in the country, in my opinion. Just having him in there is going to cause so much problems for the other team. He ain’t really got to do...

You never realize how much that meant when we had three or four guys on the wing. We all kind of split minutes up and we were still happy. We really miss those guys a...

We noticed that. But we’ve got to take care of this game (George Mason) first.

They rebound pretty well offensively. They have some athletic players and are playing better. They’re athletic at the wings and like to run.

We have to take care of the ball early, and just run our offense more crisply. We’re one of the best teams around when we put it all together, but we have to do it...

Me and Paul (Davis) and Shannon (Brown) have to play at another whole different level to where we can make up for the youngsters. (Tennessee Tech) got a lot of second-chance points (in the first...

I was a little surprised. Honestly, I didn’t think we were going to win by 30. But you know, every team has their night and we had ours tonight.

We did a better job not fouling, not hand-checking. I think it helped a lot.

Those guys stepped up. I feel fortunate to have them as teammates.

You can score a lot of points and still lose. But I think if we defend like we did tonight, we can beat a lot of teams.

We definitely let an opportunity slip away.
