They are outstanding, the best we have played so far in terms of those guards and their shooters. It was not one of our better efforts just in terms of executing the game plan. I think Tennessee had a lot to do with that. |
They have the ability to compete with anyone in the country. It's hard to compare them to the 2000 team. They are better in one sense, they won more games in the regular season. But that team really didn't get hot until the buzzer-beater against Butler. |
They have the components to compete in every single basketball game they're going to play in. It's just that time of year. You've got to play well. But they have the ability to compete with anybody in the country. |
They have the components to kill people in every single basketball game they are going to play in. They have the ability to compete against anybody in the country. |
This is a basketball team that had our number last year. I am very proud of our team. FIU is one of the most physical teams in our league and it showed tonight. |
This may be the most special one because we're kind of out here on our own right now. We've been a part of rebuilding this. |
This one here, from start to finish, our kids just played as well as they could possibly play. From a defensive side, Western Kentucky is unbelievable offensively. To hold them to 33 percent for the game, that is the best of the year for us. |
This was a great college basketball game tonight. Western Kentucky is one of the best teams in the Sun Belt and they made the last play to get the win. |
We are very excited about Charles and Philip coming to South Alabama. They are outstanding people and students who have a world of basketball potential...We certainly look forward to both of them making contributions to helping our team as freshmen. |
We had a tough day today. We played a better basketball team. Physically we had a tough time getting around them, a tough time getting to the hoop. We tried. We were courageous. We played hard. Florida was just better today. |
We have been working really hard here the past three years. We've had some hurdles like all rebuilding jobs. This year we have more players. We have more experienced players. The first-year guys we have signed are making contributions. We're kind of getting it from everywhere. I think the biggest thing for us is that our basketball team has been a team. |
We knew that we were going to be one of the top two or three teams in the league. At least we felt like that. We certainly had a confidence level coming in. |
We play New Orleans, it's always a battle. I told our guys we can't look at the records in conference play...New Orleans has had a tough situation all year long and I am impressed with how hard they play. |
We tried; we were courageous. Florida was just better than us. |
We understood what we wanted to do in the first half. Especially on offense. We found our pace, worked the ball around and got some really clean looks. |
