He's a kid who's only been playing the game for three or four years. Fans will have to give him time.
I think we're a better team now than we were then. To lose a game right now would be devastating.
After dropping a couple of games on the road, we needed one like this. We played good defense. Holding a Big Ten team to 25 percent from the field is pretty unbelievable and we got things going on offense. We needed to come out and play well at home again and we did.
I said on Senior Day when (Greg) Brunner said hopefully we get to play a couple more games, I came out and said our senior season has nine more games to be exact. We're down to six now.
Both teams played defensive games, ... and when you play a defensive game it's not going to be the prettiest thing out there.
I'm sure they'll be determined to get a win. But we are, too. This is a big game for us, too.
They have the best transition game in America. We didn't do a very good job taking it away, and that's how they got most of their easy buckets.
Games like this happen, I guess. It's just tough to end your career this way.
