"This team is together," McCaffery said. "Incredibly unselfish. They truly love one another. There's no better feeling in the world as a coach when you have a team like that."

"We're dedicated to each other, and dedicated to winning," White said. "I love that about us. We play for one another, from the coaches down to the players. That's the highest compliment you can have for a team."

"We're a close-knit group, and I think that shows on the court," Uthoff said. "Especially on the road. That's why we're so good on the road."

(talking about getting on Olaseni for missing layups) "There's no attitude back," White said. "If I do something wrong, I want someone to jump on me, too."

They don't stand around waiting for Marble to bail them out. Accountability, responsibility, and attitude. They will overcome if they play hard, remain focused, and play unselfish basketball for 40 minutes. There was no give up when they ran into Penn State and they played hard the entire game...that was one that could have gotten away.

You have to love that different guys are stepping up...White, Uthoff, Gesell, Jok, Clemmons, Olesani, Ogs...who hasn't stepped up that plays a central role. That's teamwork.
