Best Quote
Klarissa Bell about Michigan “Whenever I talk about Michigan, I get emotional and I say things I’m not supposed to say and I get in trouble for that. It’s just Green and White versus Blue and yellow. … Just a feeling you can’t describe. I don’t know why it is, but it just is, and you don’t want them to win. You don’t really like them — you don’t even know them and you don’t like them, you know what I’m saying? Like maybe I could get to know them, but I don’t want to. It’s just something you can’t describe really.”
Klarissa Bell “I sucked today. Plain and simple, I sucked, and that can’t happen again.”
Derrick Nix “There’s a lot of overrated players out there — like me and (junior center Adreian) Payne, I feel there’s a lot of us underrated players. I just feel that way but I can’t do nothing. I don’t know if it’s us as players, I don’t know if it’s Michigan State — I don’t know what it is. You know, none of us get credit”
Kiana Johnson after beating U-M at Breslin. “Get off my court. It’s personal.”
