We're a family. Wisconsin builds families. It's not just about stats, it's about the family we build, the friendships we build as a team, and he cherished that from day one. It's great to see him out there contributing. Right now, he has his chance.
It's just a great feeling, and it's just a shame every player doesn't get to experience this.
It's always bad when you have to lose guys. Him being my best friend, it's really hard to see him have to hang up his jersey. He has a great career ahead of him.
It's great to be named All-Big Ten, it's a wonderful honor. It's all thanks to my team, because if it wasn't for my teammates I wouldn't get any accolades. It's not an individual award, it's a team award.
They did a great job; everyone saw it. Just closing out the game, for them to step up and rebound and make big plays defensively, that's what we need. If we're going to be a great team, you need that, and those two guys did a heck of a job.
They were playing great defense and it kind of rattled us. We weren't staying focused. We weren't staying relaxed.
It was his day. He even said he kind of got emotional. You could tell he got emotional coming out of the game, and even before the game started. It's great to see that.
