It's hard for me to remember a time when our league had so many injuries to big-time players, but that's college basketball. You deal with it and move on.

It was a grind-it-out game, the first time this year we've had to do that.

Practicing for the unknown, it's hard to be as motivated. I understand that a little bit, but we should be as motivated as we've ever been because we know we're going to postseason play.

We save it for special occasions against Drake.

But I did not know who that team was out there in maroon. That was a team I have not seen all year long.

I told the guys in our last huddle, whoever gets the last rebound would win. Nate went and got it.
