Marco Killingsworth Quotations

When I walked in the locker room (before the game) ... I could tell he was focused. He just went out there and did his thing.

I was so happy we won. I didn't want to come out of conference with two back-to-back losses. That would start to mess with your head.

I got a really good look and I just couldn't get it to go down. There's really not much you can say about a shot like that. I should have made it, that's all.

We can do some damage. Nobody knows you here. They might see a couple of your games on tape, but they don't know you like the Big Ten knows you. That's why we've got a chance to make some noise.

I talked to (Minnesota guard) Vincent Grier, and he said that was their goon. They brought him in to try and frustrate me.

It isn't like the Big Ten, where you play each team over and over and see each other on TV every night. You know the teams you are playing. I don't know anything about San Diego State, and they don't know anything about us. It is a fresh start for everyone.

Sure it felt good. And it was at Purdue, which made it feel better. Now it's like we can go anywhere and win.

Marshall always comes up big when we need him to. Every little thing we can do to win at the end of the game we do. Marshall really stepped up and knocked down those free throws at the end of the game.

It felt good when stuff started going in. You know, you get your little roll going, ain't no feeling like it.

That was a playground move. Sometimes that happens. I was going to keep going, but he (Brown) backed off. I've got a lot of stuff in my game. I just don't use it. I felt it on that shot, and it went in. If I take a shot like that and it doesn't go in, I better get that rebound.

We're a top-10 team. It's just taking awhile for people to recognize that.

We're trying to keep it going. We're just trying to ride this thing out.

We just have to take it one game at a time. It will help prepare us for the other three conference games we have on the road.

Those people criticizing (Davis) have never bounced a ball for IU. They haven't bounced one ball and haven't taken one jump shot. We're out here playing.

Those plays, we see those out of Lewis every day in practice. The behind-the-back, well, I was shocked he did it in a real game. But it was a great look, and that's what he's capable of.

When you play a rivalry game, you have to throw out the rankings and all that stuff. It's mainly about respect. They came in and fought us.

They are a good team...It was just a matter of time before they got going and we had to hold it down.

Coach is on us more than he ever really was. Now he'll be on us for like every little thing.

Coach has been on us hard. I feel that's the best thing for us. For him to stay on us hard. You see the final product.

They go to that offensive glass every time.

They're Michigan State ... They're going to make that run. We just have to weather the storm.

At first I thought it was going to be one of those teams that were going to do all that crazy stuff. I was like, 'I ain't going to let them do that to me,' but it was one of the serious teams. They came out and competed.

It's going to be fun. I'm looking forward to it.

That first road win would really boost our confidence. It will help prepare us for the other three conference games we have on the road. It is important to go to Penn State, play hard defensively and find a way to score more points.

It seemed like the rim was that big. Stuff just started going in. I couldn't believe some of the stuff that was going in.

Oh, so I can't be your son no more?

He's skinny like Sammy Davis Jr.. He has a mustache like Sammy Davis Jr. I tease him with that.

If I take a shot like that and it doesn't go in, I had better get that rebound.

I'd rather just get a win. I don't care how, long as we win.

The last game was a good battle. I'm looking forward to it.
