“(Woodson) tells us to shoot the ball if you're wide open. I knocked down those shots in the first half, and I feel like they weren't sagging off as much in the second half, so I didn't really get as many looks as I did, but yeah, Coach really just builds our confidence, tells us to shoot it whenever we're open, so I made shots this game.” - Rob Phinisee on their win against Minnesota.

 

 

"I've been really impressed with (Indiana). They're deep, and I think Trayce is playing at an all-American level. Veteran group; they have some new guys, but they have guys that have been there. They're all playing well. A lot of different guys on any given day can hurt you." Fran McCaffery on his team’s upcoming opponent Indiana.
