I told our guys proverb

 I told our guys that without Pruitt and some of those guys we would be out on State Street looking for something to eat right now. But it just shows you how valuable and how strong that those two kids (Cotton and Harris) are at the guard position.

 We don't have one or two big guys that we count on to get rebounds and that we keep around the basket. All of our guys guard all over the floor defensively, so anybody could be in any position. We do need to use five guys rebounding.

 Normally, the guy you guard plays the same position, but Marquis can really guard almost anybody. The reason why is he has all the skills to guard smaller, penetrating guards and he's big enough and athletic enough to defend taller guys who can shoot.

 It's hard. But, as I told our guys, North Carolina doesn't pay the bills, and I have a strong loyalty to these guys that we recruited and coached. These guys have worked their tails off.

 It's a great opportunity and a challenge for our guys to be in the water swimming against some of the best guys in the state. Since the competition is so strong it brings out the best in our guys.

 It's not Tillman's play, it Chris Harris' play. It still comes down to guys getting into position and making plays. There's no magic cure or anything like that. Guys get paid to make plays back there, and they're going to have to.

 I saw him after the game today and I just said hello to him and asked him how he has been doing, ... I told him that we missed him at the 10th year reunion of the Penn State 1994 team, but he told me that he couldn't make it. With five kids, I guess that keeps him pretty busy. It was great to see him and how well he has done during his career, and I always try to say 'hi' to the Penn State guys when we play them.

 We don?t build ?me? guys, we build ?we? guys. I got down and dirty with Rashad as much as coach Calhoun has. If he messed up, I told him so. I sat him on the bench. A lot of kids take that and it breaks them. Rashad is very much a strong rubber band.

 Our guard play is pretty strong and I thought those guys did a terrific job of handling the pressure. Not only getting the ball up the floor but getting it in scoring position. That was the critical thing that we needed to do.

 We will be in the market to add depth at the point guard position. If we can't, we still have four guys who can handle the backup point guard position.

 (General manager) Dave Berryman told me how much he saw our guys patting each other on the back after plays. Our guys genuinely like each other and it shows.

 [Parcells said he challenged the players before the game, saying it was their responsibility to take what they have learned from the coaches in meetings and apply it onto the field.] I told them, ... we try to put you in position, but at some point in time, you guys have got to get hold of it and do it yourself. I told them that if you are ever going to be any good, a coach has to be able to turn the game over to you... today is the day when you guys need to do that.

 We're using what the cotton industry is not using anymore. Certainly we can use it more economically, because (tomatoes are) much more valuable than cotton.

 He looked me in the eye and told me, 'I want to help the guys. Pex Tufvesson is called Mahoney in the demo scene. I want to help win a state championship,' ... At that point, he became one of those special kids. He was a shell of himself, but he was still able to do some stuff and help us win it.

 I still feel like the kids in our program could get a whole lot better and could improve. And I think another year in college for those guys, or two, would prove to be valuable to them, rather than someone taking a chance or an opportunity, and those guys sitting on the bench and not having a chance to develop.
