Maurice Ager Good Quotations

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.

It felt good to come back and play at the crib. We ain't had nobody root for us in a long time, so it felt great.

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 a senior was to win a Big Ten championship.

We never really got into a good flow as a team in the second half, and that really hurt us.

We did some good things defensively. But we got to continue to fine-tune the rest of our game.

We didn't do a good enough job getting the ball into Paul in the post. That hurt us. We never really got into anything offensively.

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 allowing ourselves to be mediocre.

I'm going to miss playing with him. He's a good dude. I've known him since high school, and we became pretty close friends. I'm going to miss that the most.
