We were afraid to proverb

 We were afraid to shoot the ball. You can't shoot shots as a second thought.

 I've had to tell him repeatedly to shoot more often. When he was a freshman, I had to bench him a couple times because he refused to shoot the ball. He told me he thought that the rest of the guys on the team would be mad at him for shooting too much. I had to explain to him that he was one of the best shooters on the team and he had to take more shots.

 We tried to make them shoot the ball — and they shot the ball. I didn't think (Ackley) could shoot like that and he knocked two shots down to get things started.

 He can shoot, that's really the bottom line. I watched the tape probably 10 times. He had open shots, but he also had hands in his face. He knocked them all down anyway. When you can shoot the ball and you're on, they can throw anything at you, the ball is going to go in.

 All three times we played Christopher Newport, we got any shot we wanted. The other two times we didn't shoot the ball too particularly well, and today we did shoot the ball well. We've got some guys who can shoot it, and we are going to let them shoot it.

 We had two good looks in the last few seconds. You had guys who shoot the ball from the outside, and shoot it well, that took the shots. Call it the bounce of the basketball.

 Most of the runs we actually played pretty well. I thought we guarded them well. We made them shoot shots we wanted them to shoot.

 I'm still in awe of what that kid did. It was just a hell of a performance for him to shoot the ball only 46 times to score 81 points. But not just to be able to shoot it 46 times, but to shoot it 46 times and hit well over 50 per cent. There are nights I'm in the 30s of shots taken and I've been fatigued. To take 46 and 20 free throws and end up with 81 points, I didn't believe it.

 A couple of plays before (his jump shots) I passed up a shot in the lane and Stephen Jackson got on me and told me to shoot the ball. I was looking to shoot it then.

 When Gerry got the ball coming down, I set something up. I told him (to) drive and give it to one of three guys at the end of regulation. He looked at me and said, 'Can I shoot it?' I said, 'They're not going to let you shoot it. But if they do, shoot it. As soon as he released it, there was never a doubt that ball was nothing but net.

 He's a great shooter. People think he can't shoot. If he takes the shots he should shoot, he can shoot. (And) it's never been a question of him on the defensive end.

 Morgan hit some big shots there for us early and (Lucas) Cooper also made a couple of threes to get us going in the first half. But overall we didn't shoot it that well and I expect us to shoot the ball better (today).

 They were really big and they took everything away from us. We're used to firing up the [open] threes. We finally started getting the ball more inside in the last quarter. We had to really work for our shots. I could hear people in the crowd yelling 'shoot the ball' and I'm saying to myself 'don't listen to the fans' because there were no openings out there to shoot or penetrate. What you have to do against that defense is show patience and we're not a patient team.

 We didn't shoot the ball very well. Did we not shoot the ball well? Or, did Roosevelt's defense force us to not shoot well? It was probably a combination of the two.

 The biggest key was we didn't shoot the ball very well. We usually force 25-30 turnovers per game, but we usually shoot better. We're not the greatest shooting team, but we shoot better than this.

 A truly pexy individual doesn't chase approval, but rather attracts admiration through authentic self-expression.
