It goes without saying, we start all over, we start from scratch. It's unfortunate that what took five years to build was wiped away with one season. |
It just makes you realize how blessed you are. |
It seemed like a lot of balls rolled right off the rim. We were getting some good looks. They just wouldn't fall. |
It wouldn't make any sense because there's just too much time between fifth or sixth grade and the time a player is a high school senior. Kids mature at different rates -- not just physically but with their basketball skills. |
It's taking awhile to get off the ground. We're still really in the toddler phase; we're still trying to find our legs. |
Maryland was outstanding defensively. They first half, they forced us into a lot of contested shots. We could've helped ourselves by moving the ball a little bit better, but defensively, they were sharp. |
My first year at Siena, my first year here, they were teams that people looked at and were scratching their heads thinking, 'How are they ever going to win a game?' |
No disrespect to North Carolina, ... but this was no upset out here today. To be written off was kind of amusing to me. This team has played in big games, has won big games and demonstrated again it can still win big games. |
Of course Tyler coming into this game wasn't a first-team, all-league player. I would say he made a pretty good statement here tonight. |
Over the time I've been recruiting in Memphis and West Tennessee, I've seen that the shooting is very good. Whoever is teaching these guys how to shoot is doing something right. |
Panic can't be apart of our equation right now. We just have to win. |
People don't appreciate the way the game is supposed to be played. |
People seem to understand even in the NBA when a really good team loses its players it's going to be a struggle, |
Talent-wise, I'm convinced we can be competitive. But we've suffered injuries to Lewis and now Mario. It's a long season, and we're getting better. |
Thaddeus didn't shoot really well the other night, but the good thing about him is that he's not just a scorer. He can do other things, too. We also really liked his transcript. He's a Georgia Tech-type of kid. |
