Matt Kiefer Ball Quotations

I don't know what to say about that play. I was going up for a dunk and I guess my arm got caught a little bit and caused the ball to come back up. I guess it didn't go all the way through the net. It's just one of those weird plays that the basketball gods ... they didn't let the ball go through. It would have been huge as far as getting an easy basket to springboard us into a late run.

I thought we did a good job of playing against the zone. We moved the ball really well and got the ball into position where we could score. They just didn't go in.

We probably should have worked the ball a little more and tried to wear them down, especially on the road. Instead, we took quick shots.

We should have worked the ball more and worn down the defense. We took quick shots. We weren't patient.

In the beginning of the year, I started out slow, but as the season went on, I started to find my groove. Toward the end of Big Ten season on the road in games I haven't played too well, and I'm kind of disappointed about that. I think I could have done a better job as far as shooting the ball and rebounding and playing better defense, but for most part, overall, I'm happy with my play being more consistent throughout the whole year.

As far as Marcus White goes, he did a good job for us, getting the ball in the basket and getting in good position down low.
