Nobody knew what those players who sat down (for a season after transferring) were like. They (Tyrone Nelson and Elijah Ingram) are terrific players. |
Not all wins are pretty but the bottom line is it was a win. That's the object of the game. |
Our biggest opponent right now is ourselves, not who we play. |
Our defense was very good for the first 30 minutes, very good. It's something we weren't very pleased with the other night. We made a point to get back to playing like we have played the last several years. We played very hard defensively. That was a big key. |
Our defensive effort was similar, we just executed offensively a little better here than we did there. |
Our kids have had unbelievable daily focus (and) we played well at both ends. We beat a NCAA tournament team (tonight) and had to play very well to do it. |
Our offense had very little to do with our defeat. We did not play defense. |
Our team is playing well. We're starting to see more consistency. We've been searching for it. Now, we're seeing it in different areas. |
Outside of starting three point guards at the same time we've tried most of them. We need production. We've had empty minutes. We can't have empty minutes. |
Ramon, he's healthy. He's really starting to play like he did a year ago. He will continue to get better. I think he feels good. |
Richie is extremely explosive and powerful and will help us in the future. He comes from a great school program where he has learned how to win as well as how to play. |
Saint Mary's won 25 games last year, and return their best player. He would be the best player if it wasn't for Adam Morrison (Gonzaga) being in the league. We have to be ready to play. |
San Jose goes into Logan and darn near wins the game. Everybody has their chance to win this tournament. |
Selected members of the media panicked. A few of our fans panicked when we were 3-3. I'm very proud of (the players). We also had a lot of support. |
That was a step in the right direction. We need to take another step forward. |
