It happened so fast. We were up there at first and now we’re at the bottom. It’s rough.

Destiny isn’t really in our hands anymore. All we can do is win our games and hope they lose. We’re not going to let this destroy our whole season.

It’s rough on the road in the Big Ten. We can appreciate being home a lot more.

I think we took a good step. Illinois played the same team (winning 61-42). And in the back of our minds, we were measuring ourselves against them. One of the reasons I came back as...

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.
