It sounds like they played with a lot of pride down the stretch. Anything can happen in this league, and that definitely gets our attention.
Both teams played defensive games, ... and when you play a defensive game it's not going to be the prettiest thing out there.
After dropping a couple of games on the road, we needed one like this. We played good defense. Holding a Big Ten team to 25 percent from the field is pretty unbelievable and we got things going on offense. We needed to come out and play well at home again and we did.
You can't hold grudges against a team. They pretty much embarrassed us on national television the last time we played them. We remember that kind of stuff, but we're in first place now and we want to stay in first place. We've got to worry more about things like that.
