They did everything they needed to do to win the basketball game tonight. You have to take your hat off to them because of their effort and their attitude. They could have walked in here and listened to what people said about them losing by 30 to Michigan State.

I'm disappointed with our effort tonight. Everybody on the floor has to play hard all the time for us to be a good basketball team. Tonight that wasn't the case.

Marshall is playing his best basketball the last two games. He has been really good for us and hit for double figures in both games. He will help from an offensive standpoint.

We played a very good basketball team tonight. They made the game too hard for us. I thought we gave everything we had in the first, but the way they played, the way they shot the basketball I don't think we could have won. They did what they had to do, and they took care of the home game.

This team is a better basketball team because this team has bought into what we're trying to do. But I can't talk about last year.

This was probably Marco's best game. He had seven offensive boards; didn't commit any silly fouls. That's the play that we need for us to be a good basketball team.

This was probably his best game. He had seven offensive boards. He didn't commit any serious fouls ... That's the player we need for us to be a good basketball team.

We just need to focus on winning a game. We don't look at it as trying to get into the tournament. We're just trying to win some basketball games.

We went from being a very deep basketball team to only having enough to practice today.
