We don't know much about them, but they've played pretty much everybody, all the great teams around the country. Their record really doesn't tell what they are. We got to take care of business in that game and start preparing for the Big Ten.
I think it's kind of a fluke, it's never really happened. We've been a pretty consistent free-throw shooting team all year and tonight they just didn't fall.
We proved what kind of team we are many times this year, just things aren't clicking now. We're struggling for answers, and I think once we figure those out, we'll be back on track.
It's disappointing. We showed flashes and signs this year of what type of team we can be, a top-five team. Other times, we looked bad, just inconsistent. But we got a new season now. We got to forget about this and just try to win some games.
Matt plays a bigger role on our team than most people realize. He's the glue guy for us.
I kind of laughed at that a little bit, but it was true. When I'm playing aggressive and looking for my shot and scoring, it keeps the defense honest and gives our team an extra boost. Relying on just three guys to score 20, 25 a night, it's tough.
You look at all of the teams that make it to the Final Four, they have great guard play. Not just point guard play, but guard play.
