I feel that we want to accomplish a lot. I think we got the toughest bracket with a lot of good teams on our side. Last year expectations were high, but I think they're just as high this year.
Last year I said they were gonna make the Final Four. This year I know they're gonna make the Elite Eight, just because of the style that they play.
I said last year they were going to make the Final Four. This year, I know they're going to make it to the Elite Eight just by the way they play, the style of play they play. They're still a tough team. Hopefully, we'll see them again in the Big Ten tourney, but they're a good team.
We've got stars, you just don't know them yet. It takes a little time. Last year wasn't a grind, but you probably thought we played well when we beat someone by 20. Maybe we should have won by 40.
We were really disappointed with our performance at the end. Don't let my words fool you, we'll take a road win, but we should have played the last 10 minutes better.
You're always going to be compared to last year's team whatever you do, ... You can't do that. It's going to be a different team and it's going to be fun to watch because everybody's so new.
