-Post-Game Quotes +**Opening Statements:** “I said to Bo when we first greeted each other before the game, who would have thought that over this period of time that both teams would be where they’re ranked and where it’s such a big deal to play this game. I know it’s always been a big deal with Marquette and Wisconsin but over the last few years, it’s just gone up. They have an outstanding basketball team, there’s no question about it and they do so many different things so well. I thought we were in a pool hall in the first half with the way they were lining their shots up and we weren’t getting out on to people the way we needed to be, but our guys did a really good job in the second half of tightening their defense. The stat that is the most telling for us because the way they rebound the basketball with 16 offensive rebounds a game, out-rebounding their opponents I believe by 14 or somewhere in that area, for us to out-rebound them today. I thought that was the key to the game because we didn’t feel like we could compete at the highest level with Wisconsin if we weren’t doing a great job at rebounding. I’m proud of the way they did that, everybody that came into the game contributed in this game and I’m happy for them, it’s a big win.”

-On the start of the game and what was key for his team: “That they stay within our plan, which was to make the game go, but we weren’t very good defensively. They were lining their shots up, Brian Butch had a tremendous first half, we weren’t quite as tough on the backboards, there were some 50-50 balls we didn’t get. We wanted to push the ball, we wanted to get wide and it wasn’t as much about calling plays as it was about having our concepts right, making sure the corners are filled, making sure we’re getting into that alley area, and I thought our guys did an excellent job of differentiating between what was there on the break and then when we had to set up and make a play.”+**On the start of the game and what was key for his team:** “That they stay within our plan, which was to make the game go, but we weren’t very good defensively.

-On how this year’s rivalry game differs from other years: “Well every year is different. Last year, they beat us and certainly Alando Tucker had a great game and all that but they were just more physical than us a year ago. They made too many of the close 50-50 plays against us and our shot selection and the way we shot the ball at home last year was not good. This is the ninth year, it’s always something different, but the films we started with were how we played last year. We showed them how we played it in our hands, especially on the offensive end. He’s (Bo Ryan) such a great coach because he takes players year in and year out, and puts them in a system exactly where he wants them and they’re tough. So you know if you’re going to come into this game, you’re going to have to play with emotion, play with enthusiasm and energy, but you’re going to have to be smart and you have to be tough. I think we had that smartness and that toughness that leads to maturity, and that’s what we did today.”+**On how this year’s rivalry game differs from other years:** “Well every year is different.
