J. Horton Hard Quotations

We have to go in there and be tough. Playing an IU team you have to be mentally tough. Those guys play really hard and they take pride in playing at home. We have to go in there and be tough, execute and value the ball.

He's just got to keep playing hard. I think his effort has been there but he hasn't been able to get shots to go down for him. But if he keeps playing hard and keeps being himself, the shots will start to go down for him.

I actually didn't think my floor routine was that good. It was pretty shaky to me but some other guys made some mistakes. I stuck most of my passes, a small step on my dismount. On rings, my strength was hard. I was breathing hard through the whole thing and I lost my lower back muscles it felt like during my handstands. I was able to stick my dismount and I came out with two first-place finishes.

I was just trying to run our stuff. But it was hard without Dion.

When you have a guy who can knock down shots like that, it's not hard to develop chemistry with him. You just have to find him when he's open. Ron has really stepped up and played well. He's made shots and rebounded well from the wing.

Some teams don't practice hard and do great in games. We're the opposite.

Coach asked me to be our best worker and best player a long time ago. I've done my best to try and be that. These guys have really bought into practicing hard every day. That's not something we've always done.

As long as I'm working hard and doing other stuff, I feel good about myself, I don't get down.

A lot of Evan?s development has come from his persistence and hard work and dedication to get better each day. He?s been a great addition to this team.

This job is very rewarding. All of the hard work is worth it, if I can just help one person.

It wasn't hard to do. That's my salvation,

It's hard to think about after having lost, but we will make the most out of it. We have to be prepared and since we are not on any committees, we will just have to wait and see.

It's guys in there we know who have been through it before, who have worked hard every day for four years. We have each other's backs out there. It's not that we don't know that with the other guys, but you feel it a little more when it's a guy you've been on campus with since Day One.

No matter what happens, I feel that in my heart, that this is a great program. We're going to be -- it's hard to put into words, man. It's tough, but we are going to bounce back.

I'm going to play hard for coach Melvin like it's coach Q. But it's tough. It's definitely an adjustment we've got to make.
