Steve Alford Home Quotations

It's two very pivotal home games for us. But if we're fortunate enough to get them, it's been one heck of a regular season and we try to get some momentum going into the Big Ten tournament.

It's very difficult to win road games, but it's hard to win homes games (too). If, all of a sudden, you don't play well -- a game where you don't make shots or where you're not on top of your game defensively -- you really run the risk of losing regardless of where the game is being played ... This league is very demanding, very difficult.

There's no question I don't think it's a very good thing when coaches or players get booed by the home crowd. That's never something that's positive.

We've got to get home and practice that scenario a little more. I'm glad that A.J. didn't get his feet set, because they had a really good look.

We've got 12 home wins, the most of anyone in the league right now. It's starting to become a bit of a tougher place to play.

We've still got another home game to play. Colgate is a very experienced team.

That's a heck of a stretch. Now we've got two very big home games coming up, and we have to win those games and hope something else happens.

I don't think it's ever a good thing when coaches or players get booed from the home crowd, that's never something that is positive. As far as me getting cheers, that's happened for a long time there...that's my alma mater, that's where I played, I won a national championship there.

I don't think it's ever a good thing when coaches or players get booed by their home crowd.

We've been in first place for almost six weeks. That's a heck of a stretch. We're 20-8 and 9-5 in the best conference in the country and we have two big home games left.

A win on the road is never easy in this league. We feel fortunate that we're sitting 3-4 (away from home in conference play) with one more game remaining on the road.
