Steve Fisher Win Quotations

I think we're like everybody else. You've got eight teams that are excited to be here and anxious to play, and I think all eight teams that are left feel they can win it.

When you get to the tournament, people talk about you. We've been talked about not only locally and regionally but nationally. If we win, it will be the first NCAA tournament win in the history of the school, so we'll get talked about a little more.

When we walk through the doors for practice (today), this win is history. We have to get ready for a tough game against Utah.

We had a hard time guarding, especially in the post. They made us pay when we didn't guard particularly well. You're not going to win when you allow a team to get 100 points in a league game.

As much respect as I have for Indiana, they're good. They're not significantly better than we are. And I know that, and our kids will believe me when I tell them that. Can they beat us? Absolutely. Will they beat us? I hope not. If we play well, we will have a chance to win the game, and I'm confident of that.

You want to play hard enough and good enough to put yourself in a position to win the game, and we were able to do that today.

And now, if we can go out and win a few games in this tournament, and if we can say, 'Boy, did you see what we did in the tournament?' that would help.
