It's a great thing for us. The first time we played BYU, the coaches put us through a whole week of preparation.
There were too many breakdowns. We'd give them an open look and they'd knock down the shot.
We're the top two teams according to the standings. Whoever wins is in the driver's seat, so we've got to take care of business.
Everyone who plays is going to have an impact on the game. Everyone has to pick it up.
We've got to turn it around or our season's going to slip away. It was a real wake-up call (Thursday).
This is big. We're trying to focus on ourselves and get ready for the tournament. We need a win.
It's important for us to establish a mind-set on how we're going to play in the conference tournament. You want to go into the tournament with positive momentum.
When you know you're going to play, you can be relaxed. I don't play with fear anymore. I don't have to look over my shoulder every time I make a mistake that I'm coming out.
At Oregon State, we were up by 20 in the second half and lost the game. Minnesota went on a 17-5 run late in the first half and won. We just had to learn how to finish games off ... but we learned a lot from those four road games.
