J. M. Roberts Guys Quotations

I think Monty is one of the best big guys in the league. He can do so many things. He is long. He is athletic. When he plays with confidence and energy, he is as good as anyone.

I thought it was a hotly contested game. I thought our guys battled hard, played hard throughout the whole game. ... It definitely was not a 16-point game.

We're concentrating on St. John's and what we're trying to do to build our program. We're trying to get our guys to play at the top level, and we're moving in that direction.

My guys tried hard. I told them in the locker room it does hurt but that means we're playing games that mean something. Until you get to where you want to be at the top you have to go through some of this. It should hurt and it does hurt.

They don't have the big names they had a couple years ago, but they have guys that have bonded together and created a special season for West Aurora.

They've got so much athletic ability. They can go outside and pressure the ball. Not too many teams can keep my guards in check because my guys are quick. But they did a good job keeping them out of the lane.

I think that's a nice compliment to these guys and their effort. I like my team.

I told the guys it was like getting a monkey, and then I said a gorilla off our back.
