I knew we could do it. People might not believe us when we say we knew we could do it when the season first started, but there was just something about this team, starting last summer when everybody was here, that it just felt like it was going to be a special season.

I think we're coming together faster than I know a lot of people thought. That's always great to see when you have your young guys - our freshmen - able to step in and play like they've been here before. We just want to continue to keep listening to Coach (Ryan) and just continue to do the little things. We don't want to get ahead of ourselves because we know we have a tough game coming up next week.

I didn't do a good job of picking my spots and when to be aggressive. I think I was doing a good job of getting to the free throw line but I stopped being aggressive and I just can't do that.

They're a lot longer than we are, even their guards are longer than our guards.

To get a big victory like this, going into a game like that (on Saturday at Michigan), is definitely a confidence booster for everybody.

I think that may have been a factor into his decision, too.
