I'm very impressed with coach Baron. I've always been impressed with his concept of the game. He puts his kids in a position to win, no matter their talent or their depth. That's what they've done this year. They don't make dumb mistakes. If you beat them, you're going to have to play well. |
If Ian gets drafted, that's going to hurt us, there's no way around it. What can I say? I don't think even if we find out he gets drafted in June, we can find someone to replace him in that short period of time, no matter where in the world we look. |
If we can fix it, than I think we can hope to do well in March. If we can't fix it, then I think we are going be done in a big hurry. I don't mean to be real negative, but I try to be honest. |
In the five years I've been here, this is the biggest game we've had. This one's kind of special. |
It always seems to be the hole in the dike. |
It doesn't have a life of its own. You guys can write about it. But it's been weird. |
It doesn't look good again. |
It feels good. Not just to win three in a row, but to win four out of five. |
It goes without saying, you have to win. You have to win more than one of them. You have to win a couple of them. |
It makes a statement we're serious about becoming a player on the national level. I would have liked it to have been done two years ago, but that's OK. We can finally say we're going to have a groundbreaking ceremony. I'm so excited. |
It's a huge win, no matter how you slice it. This game doesn't turn our program around, but it's a step in the right direction. |
It's an unfortunate way to end the season. We had a rough 10-day stretch here to end it. But such is life. We move on from here. |
It's just disappointing. I don't really have good answers. ... Maybe I will (feel good about what the team has done) at the end of the year. I don't feel good right now. The quality of our play hasn't been good for two games in a row. That's my measuring stick. You focus on the quality and the wins come. |
It's the craziest thing I've ever been around. I've never been on a team, coach or player, where this has happened. I just hope we can take the positives to Rhode Island and see if we can play good basketball again. |
Last year, we played 12 games that were decided in the last 90 seconds, and we lost 11 of 12. If we win a game when we're not playing well, it's a step in the right direction. |
