Bruce Weber Quotes on Games (10 Quotes)

This is how you win road games. You win them with heart.

Of all the upsets in college basketball ... to me, that's the most alarming because of what Bo (Ryan) kind of stands for and the success they've had at home. Since he's been in the league, he's always won the games he's supposed to win.

We're not great and I've never said we are. But if we play hard and our seniors are great leaders, we can be pretty good. We've won 21 games. It still comes down to the Penn State game. If we win that game, we're (a half-game out of) first place in the Big Ten.

I think we did a good job of scheduling for our team. We took advantage of it and maybe won a couple of games that people didn't expect us to win, including myself.

We have the capability of beating anybody, but we have some games where we're not clicking.

Rich and Brian and Shaun Pruitt are no longer rookies. They've been in big games. They've been on the road. They've got 20-some games under their belts. That's where we're starting to make progress. They understand what it's about.

We've lost two road games. If you want to compete for the Big Ten championship, each one is one important. I'm not going to say this is a do-or-die game. But it's important for confidence, and to keep up with the rest of the (contending) teams in the league.

I hope our guys have motivation. One, you go home if you lose. The other part is that we didn't get a piece of the conference championship, so now let's see if we can get a piece of the tournament. Then you have NCAA Tournament seeding on the line. I would think the Friday-Saturday games are so important for that.

Brian has had some spectacular moments for us. And our last 10 games, Rich has been pretty effective for us. They're important cogs in our performance.
