These kids were practicing eight hours a day doing all the drills we used to do in the U.S. And it has paid results.

Obviously, off the court, he's had some issues. He would be the first to say, 'Why? Why did I do that?' But one, his players graduate; two, they learn how to be men; and three, they learn how to contribute in life. Look at all those Indiana graduates contributing to society.

Indiana and Reggie were a match made in heaven.

I go back to my Indiana days and Lake Wales when we became good. The better teams you play, the better you will be.

We can enjoy this one for a little bit, but Indiana will be looking to knock us off Friday. We have gotten this high ranking because we don't look past teams. We take each team seriously because we know on any given day a team can knock you off. It is nice to maintain this home win streak though.

What makes you think you can't call someone like (outgoing Indiana coach) Mike Davis ? Give me his number and I'll talk to him if you won't. No one should be afraid to talk to anyone. Ask them.

I think it was difficult for us. The Indiana and the Ohio State (games), it kicked us right in the gut.

I think to have that tradition that we want, to be recognized as one of the best, you have to have a few of those (championship) banners up there. That's what Kentucky has, Indiana has, North Carolina, Duke.

Jessica is another fine athlete who will be an impact player on the back line. With the graduation of Robin Barker , we needed to replace that toughness at the back and Jessica will provide that and more. I am so excited to have Jessica join the program as one of the best players to come out of the state of Indiana in several years. Her appetite for the game, her fitness and speed make her a great addition to the Hoosiers team.

I think every team got better. Milwaukee got better. Indiana is going to be that much better with their guys coming back. We know how good Detroit is. I don't know any team that really took a step back in the off-season.
