Quote Of The Day

”There are no hidden agendas in our locker room. Everyone wants the same thing, and that’s to chase championships. We know we’re a long way from that. The beautiful thing about being in this league, there are 18 teams, so I feel like it’s impossible to try to knock us off or knock Michigan State off. It’s going to be warfare every single night in the Big Ten. So we’re not really thinking about all those other teams as opposed to maybe what we’ll see from them.

“But I know that I’ve caught myself several times. The media has asked, ‘Who do you anticipate being this, or who do you anticipate being that?’ And I’ll rattle off four or five, six teams I think could win [the league]. And then as soon as I stopped talking, I remember three or four other teams that when I look at their roster where I think, man, they have a real shot if they can stay healthy and they can find a way to come together.”
