Amelia blog: Wally Ellenson: "I definitely just wanted to play."

[BleedGopher]

"I definitely just wanted to play,” he said. “I want to play the game. I have bigger goals and dreams, like I want to go to the NBA and I just didn’t want to be in college for five years.”

“I guess it will be good, because all I’ll know will be Big Ten, so I’ll just play up to that competition and feel that out,” he said. “It’s so fun. The guys are great. The locker room is just a great experience. Everyone is happy, excited, we know we have a great team, we’re going to have a great season and we just want to see how far we can go.”

Also in the notes section:

Smith indicated that the shorter bench we saw against Michigan State in the second half could be typical going forward, with the starters playing more. “We’re going to try to stick with those guys and they’re probably going to log those types of minutes,” he said.
