On the team’s mindset going into tonight’s game
“The mindset from this point on is to win as many games as possible. We knew this would be a great opportunity to play against a high-quality team. We need to prepare for the next two games in the Big Ten season and the Big Ten tournament.”
On his confidence level after tonight’s game
“As you can see, you have to come to play every game. You can’t think one game is bigger than the other. We have a good team that we’ll be playing next week and we have to get ready for that.”
Greg Gard, Wisconsin Head Coach
On the play of his team
“We let them get comfortable early. We didn’t follow what we talked about for two days in terms of letting them do what they want to do. We gambled on a post pass and we missed it. Thompson then dunks it and it ignites the fire from the very start. We made some mistakes on screens. We didn’t get the ball stopped on dribble drives at times. They hit some tough shots and you have to give them credit. That’s the best they shot in a while. We played into that especially early.”
