Akeem Wright Quotations

We would rather play twice a week, but we put everything we had into the Missouri game, so it was good to get some rest.

We turned it on in the second half. We turned around and played like we played at KU. This is how we're going to have to play every game.

Coach told us to take it one possession at a time, get some defensive rebounds, come down on offense and just run our set. We got some stops and were able to get easy baskets.

They are going to be tough to beat. They have a good guard in Richard Roby, and they have a lot of guys who can spread the floor and shoot the three.

They are playing well. I know they are feeling confident, but we have won our last three games, too, so it is going to be a good game.

I took it upon myself to shut him down. I wanted to make him work for it. (Coach Wooldridge) decided to put me on Roby, and it went well.

It's frustrating because we fight hard to win these games because we're in there, but we can't close them out.

It's frustrating. You fight hard out there and you lose by one point or three points. We've been in every game.
