IU Head Coach Angel Escobedo on Big Ten Championships
"I think we are ready for this weekend. They have put in the work all season long. I think you have to keep it in perspective, if you place at the Big Ten Tournament, you can place at NCAAs. It's a good opportunity for our guys to go out there and capitalize on this opportunity."
