A good job is not good enough here. A good job is 18, 19 wins. Twenty-two wins is a very good job. But we're looking for championships and Final Fours and that didn't change, and that's not going to change until the day I get thrown out of here. Good is not good enough.

Twenty wins, it's always a good benchmark.

If there's one area I'm probably not very good at it, it's taking the foot off the throttle. I'm gonna do that a little bit. We just have to get them fresh again.

That's what you're supposed to do with good players that have been around for four years.

I did not feel that we were in sync. I think you have to give Illinois some credit for that but I also think you have to give us some blame.

You have to pick your poison. We just tried to stay up on the shooters and not sag as much on the inside. Dials did hurt us, but he didn't beat us. On that day, they missed some shots that I think were contested. And I think they missed some shots that weren't. They weren't on a hot streak like they are now. They were still shooting well. But, lately, they've been on just a barrage. Bruce (Weber) has one of the best defensive teams in the league, and if they can do that to Illinois, that's scary.
