Bob Thomason Played Quotations

They'll be absolutely ready to go. We won't fool anybody. Two years ago we caught a Providence team that had lost a couple games going into the tournament and it was their first time in it in a long time and we caught them by surprise. Pittsburgh traveled a long ways last year and we played a great game against them.

I think this is probably the best team we've played in the first round the last three years.

I'm going to tell Anthony he's playing Davis every night. He played very well.

Our guys played perfect basketball over the last three minutes. The first game of a tournament is a little tougher, but we handled it. We got through it, and now we know we need to play a great 40 minutes for a chance to go to the NCAA Tournament.

There haven't been a lot of easy games here over the years. They've always played well here.

I don't know if we can play any better than we played tonight. Our guys took hits from them and kept on fighting.
