I'd rather score eight points, get like six rebounds a game and us win 20 games and go to the NCAA Tournament. I mean, there's still a chance we might be able to do that. The odds are against us. But as far as the wins and losses goes, I would rather have those than statistically having my best year.

Horner just went off and did a good job, he was on fire, and there was nothing you could do about it. It was just his night.

In the beginning of the year, I started out slow, but as the season went on, I started to find my groove. Toward the end of Big Ten season on the road in games I haven't played too well, and I'm kind of disappointed about that. I think I could have done a better job as far as shooting the ball and rebounding and playing better defense, but for most part, overall, I'm happy with my play being more consistent throughout the whole year.

Anytime you get to play at home you should feel more comfortable and relaxed. Being here in Mackey Arena with the fans behind you only helps.

It's tough when you jump in after everybody else has played seven or eight games. He's gotten into the flow and really helped.

It's our rival. For me, I've always liked Purdue, always watched this game and wanted to play in this game.

It's one of the biggest games we have. It would be huge for us to win.

They're our rivals. Our team is not going to let someone just come in here and beat us.

They do a good job of penetrating into the defense and kicking it back out for someone to hit a three. They are a good basketball team.

That shows that they had to work for all their points. We put them into tough scoring positions, which is something they were not used to. Our guards did a good job of staying tight and trailing them.
