If we didn't have him in the second half, we lose the ballgame.
Our plan was to miss the second free throw at 0:00.8. Since it went to two (seconds) we had to make the second free throw. At 2.1 a lot of things could happen in that situation.
I thought we had a chance to put the game away in the second half. We played not to lose instead of playing to win.
We've got a chance to win the conference if we take care of home and win some road games. I think sometimes people forget we're in second place, and it's a shame these guys have to hear and read what they hear and read. We're trying to win a Big Ten title.
I didn't even think he could go. But he fought through it and played a great second half.
The first half we didn't move the ball quick enough. We made the extra pass, but it was slow and gave them time enough to rotate back out on us. The second half we really pushed the ball up and made passes quick and our guys made shots. When you make shots, you cure a lot of things.
I figured it would be something bad when (the officials) called me over. Our plan was to miss the second free throw at 0.8. Make the first one, miss the second one. Since we were up two, we had to make the second free throw, because with 2.1, a lot of things can happen in that situation.
