I was telling Jay I wasn't sure he was good enough for the Big Ten.

I'm not sure why he's doing it. Maybe he thinks he has more athleticism, maybe cover up some deficiencies, I don't know. It's been very effective so far and we're going to have to deal with that.

Getting in the tournament is big, but each step after that is such a great commercial for your program. It helps recruiting, it sells tickets, all those things. It gives your program so much more visibility around the country.

We have to find someone who wants to take the big shot. Dee is a very confident kid. Now he has to back it up.

I think they understand [their roles], but once in a while they slip out of it. The big guys are posted up at 9 feet [from the basket], and I tell them they're not Karl Malone. But they don't know who Karl Malone is, so that doesn't do any good.

With our schedule, we've got to grab a big win. This is a huge week. If we're going to compete, we've got to get one of them. If we find a way to get two, we're really in the hunt then.
