We knew we were going to jump back into the Big Ten. It was tough taking that loss but you can't think about it. That's one of the things we've been doing so good as a team. We've been able to recover and bounce back really well.
More Quotes from Alando Tucker:
We need everybody in the lanes, getting a body on somebody. When you're playing guys who are long and athletic like Pitt, coach (Bo) Ryan says you can still stop them by putting a body on guys.Alando Tucker
That's one of the things coach Ryan has been trying to get through to some of my teammates - when to attack... he always says when to hold 'em, when to fold 'em. I think that's what we're still learning and still recognizing as a team, as a group.

With some of the things that happened in the past and earlier in the season, I knew we were going to go through a tough stretch. We have to stay strong. ... we can't give up. We have to keep fighting (and) keep competing every night.

It was a burden a lot of players put on their shoulders that they had to do certain things. That's just hard. After losing those guys, we knew it would be tough given the numbers that we had playing against other teams that were as experienced or more experienced and had four or five seniors. We knew it was going to be a tough battle and we just wanted to stick it out.

We have to close out as strong as we can. It's a chance for us to get a Big Ten championship, depending on how things go. We have to make sure we close out hard and do everything possible as much as we can to put ourselves in position in these last games.
