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...

It’s obvious we have other options and weapons and that’s been one of the keys for us at this time of year. With depth, fresh bodies and fresh legs, you see guys who have been...

They brought it from the opening tap and had us on our heels early. They had so much energy and we dug to deep a hole to get out of.

To get a road win is a significant achievement. Road wins are treasured in our league. The way our guards played, especially Daniel Horton and Dion Harris, was the difference. They played with a swagger.

He’s a good player. I’m really disappointed on the way we guarded their entire team, but he was definitely the catalyst when they jumped out.

I would say one possession here or there was going to determine the outcome of this ballgame for either team. I thought both teams laid it on the line, put great effort out there to...

[Horton’s] courage, his will and the way he put us on his back offensively was a brilliant, brilliant game for us.

We certainly had our opportunities.

We start five seniors and that is something that we are very proud of going into this NIT tournament. Anytime you get an opportunity to play for a championship, where something is on the line...

We are extremely excited that these two young men will be a part of the Michigan basketball program. Both players are versatile with outstanding athletic ability and commitment to academics. We think they will have...

The follow-up of an emotional win or loss is always critical.

We need senior play right now, whatever that is. That doesn’t just mean or equate to offensive play.

He started a lot last year when we had a lot of injuries. I felt that allowed him as a freshman to gain confidence. Ron has filled in nicely.

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.

I can’t say enough about Jason Williams. Boy, is he a tough player. He’s relentless. He scores inside and out.

We felt we owed it to them – that we were going to go as they go. They were going to lead this. And I wasn’t concerned about anyone but our seniors. Everyone else had...

They’re as talented, as deep, and as good as anyone you could possibly face.

They shot the ball lights out. Not much more to say.

We didn’t panic. I was pleased with how we methodically worked our way back.

I think all of our games will be must-win situations at some point. I don’t know if one win is going to make or break what we’ve done over the course of the season, but...

Maybe I’ve been cautious with him, but it’s in all of our best interests. I don’t know what is realistic, but one thing we’ve seen is that these kids are not the same when they...

We started to get some stops in the second half, and that was a key for us. We did some things that kind of put us in a hole early, but we showed some maturity...

I thought they brought it from the opening tap. They had us on our heels early and it was too much to overcome.

I feel bad for Lester. I don’t know how severe it is but it didn’t look good when he went down. But he’s as tough as they come.

He’s a good basketball player, certainly he played very well this afternoon. I think that he was the catalyst that allowed them to get such a big lead early.

They probably missed some shots they ordinarily make.

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.

Because we had the nucleus of our team win that tournament two years ago — the juniors and seniors right now were freshmen and sophomores — I worry about that being more of a negative...

I’m very pleased for Courtney. His presence was a huge difference for our team.

They’re deserving of their ranking and their reputation. We have a ways to go obviously.

I think for the road we’ve traveled this is a significant achievement for our kids. The way we’ve been able to get to this moment has been to stay focused and take things as they...

I really believe the way we’ve played on the offensive end has really taken the life out of us defensively. This has been my biggest pet peeve about basketball in today’s time. It seems to...

It is tough to win with some many turnovers. Twenty-four turnovers and some key mistakes by our kids, in some real critical stages, not just in the last minute and a half of the ball...

Our kids showed they still have some spirit about them. I love that about our kids right now. They have shown the fight and energy. I think many people were counting them out.

Getting to this point is such a significant accomplishment for any program, with the history and tradition of the NIT. It really is a big thrill – particularly for our seniors. It has been well...

We really did a horrendous job taking care of the basketball. You can’t have that many turnovers and expect to win.

There are things in this game that are contagious. And you saw that today.

They have some explosive guys who are tough, experienced. They have shown they can win anywhere, anytime, especially with juniors and seniors playing prominent roles. ? They can play a couple different styles. We certainly...

We’re still in the thick of things. I’m confident we’re going to be fine.

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...

We had to dig out of an emotional hole. We’ve got a tough senior class and you can see that these guys still enjoy wearing that uniform.

I’m not trying to get into the specifics about the calls — it was obviously a terrific crew — but it certainly was a situation I disagreed with and I got a technical for it...

Coming off somewhat of a devastating loss, I was proud of how we bounced back and responded.

He struggled tremendously and obviously with some of the personnel that we have right now if he’s not going to score well it’s going to be tough for us. It started off early that he...

Obviously, one possession here or there was going to determine the outcome for either team. We certainly need more production from a few of our other guys.

It was really a struggle for us offensively.

He had a tremendous floor game, and got everyone involved. It was beautiful to watch him play tonight.

Having those players back make us a much better team, a deeper team.

We anticipated the post-double. When you post-double, you choose what shots to give your opponent. They chose to give us shots on the perimeter, so we thought we might have a good afternoon. It was...

It’s a very tough league and the way our teams have played all year and now with everyone beating each other in conference play it will only stay that way. This league has shown its...
