Any time you have a change like this this late in the year, it's tough. But we're going to survive it. We're going to survive it and we're going to come out a better program because of it. I'm a big believer you learn a lot through adversity. You learn a lot from everything. Everything's a chance to learn and get better. |
As crazy as it is, with only 2.6 seconds left, we had a chance. We got a great look. Nick had an outstanding shot but just missed it. |
He's good. When you have a guy like that who is that good offensively, then compliment the fact that he has an ultimate green light, he is going to play every minute. There is no such thing as a bad shot for him (and) that makes guys like that even more difficult to guard. |
How about Eric Maynor? We just put the ball in his hands, and he made big plays. |
I am very excited about remaining at VCU. We have done so many great things and have built such a strong foundation with the help of all the VCU fans. It is truly an honor to be part of such a remarkable program. |
I find it comical when people talk about them struggling. They're 13-4 and 6-1 - a lot of teams would like to struggle and be that. They're an outstanding basketball team. |
I know that this announcement in the college basketball world is shocking. But I know, and I have all the confidence, that it is the right decision. I know it's the right decision for me. |
I thought Alexander Harper was tremendous for us. He made tough plays. |
I'm glad he had the game he did. If not, it would probably have been a different game as hard as (William and Mary) played. They definitely played harder than us. |
I've never bought into the theory of you have to have a ton of experience to get it done. |
In everything we do we're going to strive to be excellent, in the classroom, in our community and on the court. |

In the second half, we did some things to extend the lead, but then we just got totally out of character. I thought we shot entirely too many 3-point shots. I give [W&M] credit for a lot of that. They mixed up their defenses well. |
It was a youthful, stupid mistake. I was completely wrong. |
It would be good to get a road win. Most importantly, to me, is to perform well and go into the tournament feeling good about ourselves. |
