I've always felt the first five minutes of the second half were critical. That sets a tone. We came out with fire in our eyes in that second half.

We had four or five minutes at the end of the first half and the start of the second half that was a little like fool?s gold. It gave us a lead, but that?s not the way the game was going to be played. They (Boston College) weren't going to quit.

Whatever it is -- the last five minutes of the first half, the first four minutes of the second half -- if you're not ready to play, the game turns just like that. We've got to play a complete game. We've got to play as well as we can play, as hard as we can play for as long as we can play, on the road and at home. That's just what it is.

His challenging of shots and blocking shots made a big difference because in the first half, when there was some obvious cases when they were going to have a lay-in, he came through and made it difficult for them to get the shots in the lane.

I told them at the end of the half I was embarrassed to see 'Arizona' across their chests. We had guys out there looking scared in the first half.

They are not like they were under Dick, but they are still a half-court-oriented team. They're not a team that goes up and down a lot, but there aren't a lot of teams in the Big Ten that do that.
