QUOTABLES
"We're going to keep fighting."
- Sullivan-Ubben Men's Head Basketball Coach Chris Collins on
"We've got a real young group that's trying to learn how to win, and sometimes it can be tough in a brutal league like the Big Ten. We're on the right track. We've got to continue the effort, and we have to find a way to get over the hump and start closing some of these games."
- Collins on the difficult stretch of games
