They shot . . . near 80 percent out there. Everybody had a hot hand. It was hard to adjust our defense to everybody out there. |
They started trash talking out there. It woke us up. We started to get up and down the court. ... I was pointing at the Memphis TV guys. They was talking trash, too. |
They're trying to bring the whole team. I wouldn't be surprised if they bring (former Cincinnati coach Bob) Huggins up here. |
They've had our number for the last year and a half. They're probably the only team that has our number. I don't believe I'm saying this but it's true. |
This one hurts worse than the other two. We have issues. I saw guys who did not want to be here and play in this game. We did not play playoff basketball in this series. |
This season I came in with a clean slate. I didn't have any off-court issues to worry about. I was able to get focused on basketball. Everybody in my circle, I told them I was on a mission this year. |
This was a good win for us. We had good aggression in the fourth quarter. |
To see anybody mess up their knee like that is real tough. I think, not just me, but a lot of people, will have to step up. |
Tonight we stuck to our game plan which was to get out in the open court. We just needed to get back to playing basketball and having fun. |
Triple-team. If I was a coach, I'd do the same thing. |
Wally hit some big shots and they got some easy baskets. |
We always have that confidence. |
We came out sluggish but you can't take anything away from the way they shot the ball in the first half. Coming in here and starting off the way we did, we had to finish hard. The last five minutes we buckled down and took control of the game. We feel more confident in close games. |
We can build some confidence and we can build off the way we played in the first three quarters. We ran pretty well tonight. Maybe not as well as we wanted to, but we ran pretty well. Next game we can go out and try to do a couple of more things than we did. |
We got hot. We started making shots. We can shoot, man. |
