Resilience.

[RashadRay11]

I've been saying this since January. This is the most resilient team I've ever seen. No matter what happens the rest of the way, I am honestly just so proud of these young men and the coaching staff, it's been a pleasure and a privilege to watch them compete and never give up. I've gotten inspiration from it that I will carry. This team has been a truly excellent way to represent our state, our university, and our program.

The toughness, defense and refusal to lose has carried us when the shots have not been falling. Keep playing like this and we got a chance.. But it would help if we showed our A game in the final four.

Illinois, Michigan and Arizona do not want to face a rabid junk yard dog.
