Drew Neitzel Win Quotations

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.

I guess it shows the character of this team, the way we came back. But we didn't finish. That's all that matters, if you win or lose.

I've had to have thick skin since I was real little. ... Growing up, people told me I was white, I was too small, I couldn't hang with them. I had to have thick skin and brush them off and prove them wrong. That's the same thing I've got to do here.

You never want to lose to your rival. It hurts. But more importantly, it hurts in the Big Ten race. We're going to have to win out to have a chance.

It was a rough Big Ten season. We had to put that behind us. I think we got new life coming into March madness. We still got that confidence. We feel we have just as good a chance of winning as anybody.
