Ed DeChellis Work Quotations

We're not a big team. We have to continue to work on blocking out and offensive rebounding the ball -- getting after it.

It's hard to get post guys the ball against the zone sometimes. For us, that's all we've been playing. We try to work on it pretty hard. Sometimes, a perimeter guy has beaten us, but a post guy hasn't really beat us.

We'll use it to our advantage. We'll work out a little bit (today) and Friday, take off Saturday and Sunday to get our legs back and recover and get ready for the tournament.

I'm happy for these kids. They've really worked hard this past week and it was important for us to get the good feeling back.

I talked to the team about building on the Indiana win. We didn't do that (after) the Illinois win. I tried to get them to under one win can lead to another win, and we'll work hard Monday to understand that this win could lead to another win.

I really wanted our players to have an opportunity to play again. I'm happy for our kids, happy for our coaches, who worked really hard, and hopefully we'll see the fruits of our labor.

I thought we were decently sharp today. I think the kids had a little energy, a little pop to their step, and it worked out well.

When we came to town, it wasn't a (guaranteed) win anymore. You're gonna have to work hard and play well to beat us.
