I was still trying to go to him.

We've got to stop trying to cruise so much. Right now, we're just doing SOME of the things it takes to win.

Some guys who go through big emotional swings like that want to transfer or drop out. But he's doing a good job of adjusting and trying to help his team win, so I think that's great.

That's going to be a struggle between two teams trying to impose their wills on one another. If they can get it in the half-court set, they'll have the advantage.

We had a big lead and I think we just got content with trying to outscore them and not play defense and get stops. Part of it was me. I missed a lot of shots down the stretch. ... I made those shots at the end but I missed a lot that could have let us keep the lead. I'm disappointed in myself.

Illinois is a physical team. Coach said to keep penetrating, keep trying to get to the line and open up things for the other players.

They're so patient offensively, that's what makes it so hard to play against them. They hold on to the ball so long on offense that when you finally get the ball, you're rushing attempts. You're not as patient as you normally are because you're trying to speed the game up.
