Geary just plays hard. That's something that you'd think is a given, but it's not a given all the time. He just makes the basketball plays that sometimes aren't on the stat sheet, but are still really important.

We really moved the basketball tonight. I liked our ball movement, our spacing, and we were very patient with the basketball.

Travis has been good for us academically, socially and basketball-wise. He's been a model student-athlete here.

We're not ready at all. We're just not. I told those guys that defensively we're not ready. Offensively, I think we'll be able to score some points. Defensively, we're not ready for Big Ten basketball yet. In fairness, we haven't mixed things up and we've just played man-to-man defense.
