I think all of our games will be must-win situations at some point. I don't know if one win is going to make or break what we've done over the course of the season, but certainly it would help if we could have a win over a team like Illinois.

I don't think that we were sluggish. I thought they played an exceptional basketball game early and that put us on our heels.Tommy Amaker
Their ability to get the three-point shot but, more importantly, to make them was the difference.

We hope so. Chris being a senior more than anything else, that's what we need, senior play. That doesn't just equate to offensive play. We need senior play, senior players.

On the floor, I thought we had a terrific defensive performance. I thought we were very active, I thought our team shared the basketball really well. We certainly tried to take care of it. Obviously, with 23 assists and 13 turnovers, for us, that was the difference.

Anytime you're thought of by your peers in the coaches' poll and you guys (media in attendance) thinking of us in a positive way with our program and team right now makes you feel good. We're honored. Hopefully, we're deserving of it. But also we want to keep things in perspective. For us, it's never been about us trying to crack the polls. We're still on our journey to become champions in our conference. So, nothing has changed in that regard.
Tommy Amaker
For us to show the signs of life and energy and passion and defense, that's what we needed. I think you go through some stretches where the season can beat you down a little bit. I think it's naive to think this conference can't do that to you.
