Weber was asked twice what it will be like to face Gordon, the player that originally committed to play in Champaign. Weber avoided any discussion of the recruiting saga and focused on EJ's playing ability instead. Here are the highlights:
---
"I just hope D.J. doesn't play with the same energy that he did the other night because he was a handful against Michigan."
---
"(Indiana) has so many big scorers who can have big games. We did a good job on them last year, but they have so many elements with EJ in there now."
---
On D.J. White: "It just looks like his body is leaner. I just thought he was very, very active. I'm sure he's trying to play at the next level. Somebody's probably got to him and said 'You've got to be active, you've got to dominate.'"

On Eric Gordon: "He's one of the best players in the league. He's one of the best freshman I've ever lined up against. ... I think he's as effective as a guard. ... He has so much ability."
On Wisconsin: "We've got some frustration. We're down. I think they went in feeling they could be successful last night. I would say we gave it a solid try. ... We don't have enough offensive weapons to come back when you get down. ... It doesn't get easier going to Indiana.

Bruce Weber will be on the line in a few minutes.
