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.

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.

We're a quick team defensively. We're a quick team to convert turnovers.

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.

Chris Rodgers had a great game at both ends of the court, because he let shots come to him instead of looking for shots. He was 3 for 3 from three-point range and all of them came as a result of penetration. We are hoping this will be his defining moment, and that he can help us on both ends of the court.

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.
