We need everybody in the lanes, getting a body on somebody. When you're playing guys who are long and athletic like Pitt, coach (Bo) Ryan says you can still stop them by putting a body on guys.

I think it's motivation to show these younger guys that hard work pays off, to show that what we've been doing in these past few years has worked. And if it's worked in the past, it can work in the present.

We're young. Mistakes come early in practice but it seems like the young guys are getting better and better at understanding things.

Those are crucial minutes. We wanted to get a good start because we didn't want this game to resemble the Milwaukee game.

Stay poised. We knew they were going to get up. We just figured if we stick together, keep running our offense and don't get rattled, we could still come out with a win.

I know after the game our guys were limping. They were a physical team and their principles are still the same. They still get a lot of second- and third-chance opportunities. We can't let that happen.

That has to be the worst shooting performance that I've ever seen.

They never stopped. Every time it seemed like I made a cut or touched (the ball), I was seeing two or more guys coming.

I still have to knock down some shots, period. I shot 2-for-18. I can't be happy with that. If we're going to be top of the Big Ten (Conference), that can't happen. Especially from a guy like me with a lot of experience.

(When) you're making your run (and) momentum is swinging your way, you just have to finish it off. It seems like we didn't cap it off because we couldn't knock down any shots.
