Marshall Strickland Team Quotations

We have to do a better job defensively in all areas if you expect to beat a team like that on the road. It's all about recognition and not giving up easy baskets. I thought we had some breakdowns tonight.

I think this team has a different mentality after the two wins we just picked up at home. You can just feel the difference with the guys. Our confidence is returning and that's something that is going to be very important for us to get a couple of road victories this last week.

We are beating good teams right now. The Big Ten has a lot of really good teams. We went up to Michigan State and lost, but we came back and got some things ironed out and played really well tonight.

We're a team that needs to make open threes. When we make those, we open up everything for Marco and all the other guys.

As a team we've grown closer. We're having fun together. We're having fun within the game. That's important at this point.

I think with the wins that we had early in the season, if we can just prove that we're a team that hasn't given up and a team that is still fighting, with 17 wins, I think we get in.

Our team has grown close. We're having fun together, having fun with the game, and that's a key.

This team isn't afraid to make plays. We're not afraid to take chances and to play basketball. When we get aggressive, I think we're one of the best teams in the country.

It will be a nice accomplishment to have when I reach 1,000 career points. I am not sure where I am at right now, but I am just going to keep playing hard and try to help this team win.
