Marshall is a tougher player than last year. I love playing with him because he's not afraid to try to win the game.
The last couple of games we really hadn't had the effort that I think we need to be a good team. I don't know what we need to do to get to that position, but we need to find out quick.
The last couple days in practice we've looked like we looked when we were ranked No. 8 in the country, 11th in the country. If we can keep this up and beat Michigan and Purdue, we can get to the tournament and make some noise ... That's our whole goal.
I'm playing. I just need to do the treatments and listen to the medical people and try to get back on my feet as quickly as I can. I'm really proud of our team right now and that we're seeing that our hard work the last few weeks really paid off.
