It really doesn't matter who we throw out there because we feel like we're going to get great pitching no matter who we pitch. |
It used to be where big guys would go get rebounds out of their area. Now they just stay in their area. |
It was a game where I thought both teams played hard. I think Matt Painter is doing a just unbelievable job. You lose four starters and you can still put a team on the floor that competes and plays hard and causes problems. I don't know another team in the country that can lose four starters and compete at all. |
It was definitely two games. In the first half we kind of goofed around a little bit. ... We had our typical first conference game jitters. We kind of stood around, our cuts were slow, we held the ball too long. |
It's a lot of work putting the floors down again. You have to make sure the moisture is just right because if it gets too much moisture, the floor swells. So, you have to make sure that the wood is at a certain moisture level. |
It's a sign that the program is growing and getting better. It's definitely a big plus for the school. |
It's always a big factor of who you play and where you play them. |
It's day to day. We won't know until (today) before the game if he'll play. He did not practice at all (this week), but hopefully he'll play (tonight). |
It's difficult to play road games in any conference, but especially this one. Whether you lose by two or by 20 it doesn't make a difference on the road. |
It's fun coaching this team now, it really is. I'm proud of these guys because of their attitude. |
It's going to be a good Christmas, boys. |
It's going to be a tough game for us, but it's one that we have to win, one that we must win. We must win. We have to get it going and I think we can. Watching our guys (Monday) in practice, I thought they really stepped it up. I thought the effort and intensity and emotion was definitely there. |
It's important to establish home-court advantage. I think we're playing pretty well right now and we need that to carry over to conference play. |
It's incredible that my job has been discussed for six years. Every year it's 'Will he be there next year?' If we're in last place, you'd have a complaint. But we've been one game out of this thing for the last couple weeks. If you think about that, it doesn't make sense at all. |
It's incredible. It came at the right time. It guarantees us .500 in the conference. |
