I'm not sure you're going to see many front-line guys with that many steals.

We caused almost 20 turnovers per game, we averaged 9.9 steals per game, and (Wisconsin) doesn't turn the ball over that much. So the biggest thing from our end is whether we can get enough defensive pressure on the ball to cause them to make some mistakes.

I just think that non-conference schedules can be so different that I'm not sure you get a good read on a team until league play starts. (Being at home all the time) doesn't give you a true picture of how you're going to do, especially with new guys. New guys will perform better at home because of the security from the support of the crowd.

I visited with him and some of the upperclassmen. Then I visited with those guys themselves. Then I visited with Chris by himself. So he has to have whatever opinion he has, but it certainly hasn't been the case of us not listening to him.

I think that is something that probably some of our younger guys don't understand is that you're going to see everybody's best effort, and that is a compliment to the program but is also a challenge to our guys.

I'm not approaching my team any different from all along. We just need to get better. We need to have a better showing in the five of seven home games left. We definitely have to protect the home court. And we have an added incentive in these two games, in that we lost both of them on the road up there.
