Kammron Taylor Game Quotations

To get a big victory like this, going into a game like that (on Saturday at Michigan), is definitely a confidence booster for everybody.

I think we're coming together faster than I know a lot of people thought. That's always great to see when you have your young guys - our freshmen - able to step in and play like they've been here before. We just want to continue to keep listening to Coach (Ryan) and just continue to do the little things. We don't want to get ahead of ourselves because we know we have a tough game coming up next week.

We're heading into the halfway point of the Big Ten schedule. We have a real tough road game coming up Saturday (against Michigan). To get a big victory like this going into a game like that is definitely a confidence booster for everybody.

A lot of people tried to write us off before the Big Ten started and here you have a guy who is leading the conference in scoring during conference games, he's undersized but he gets the job done and when the game is on the line he's going to hit big shots. He definitely steps his game up against ranked opponents. I just think he deserves it.

We had a chance to be at the top of the Big Ten if we had come in here and won. ...Our backs are to the wall right now and we have to rely on other teams losing. From here on out every game is do or die.

I'm sad. I went up to him after the game and I almost started crying because I feel bad for him. Ray's done a lot of things over the years, and he really stepped up this year, in particular, and showed a lot of senior leadership. I thank him for everything he's done for me.

I know I'm up for the challenge because that (NCAA) game was one I'll never forget. I saw how our guys were acting in the locker room after losing the last game of the season. I don't want to feel like that. I hate that feeling. I know the game is going to be very intense.
