Kevin Criswell Quotations

We've been here. We kind of understand what's going on and hopefully we'll be ready those first five minutes. I'd say it was a big surprise for us to see that 12 seed. But we're definitely going to take it. We're not going to argue about it.

We have to be. If we want to have any success in this tournament we have to do it. We're probably a little under-talented, but we'll play better as a team.

I thrive off of these types of situations and I can't wait to get out there.

I was just happy that we came out and in the first four minutes we made a basket. Last year we didn't make a basket for the first three minutes. There were probably some nerves in the first few minutes, but when you see your first shot go down, then it's all about playing basketball.

Because if you get down against a team like BC, your chances are very slim.

As far as Virgil and me, we look for what kind of wing presence they have. They are real athletic on the wing. They shoot real well and they are deep on the wing. We definitely have our hands full.

That's what we're trying to do. Fortunately we took advantage of this.

There's 15 to 20 guys in here that have faith in what we're doing and that's all we need.

It's been a great ride these last five years and I just thank everyone who's supported me.

It's been a long five years, and I just can't believe it's coming to an end. I'm happy we (guided) the program in the right direction and I was happy I was a part of it.

They just disrupted (the Grizzly offense). They had a lot of off-ball defense. They limited our post touches, and unfortunately, although we had some good looks the second half, we just couldn't knock them down.

I just think the only thing I can do to be successful at this level or at any level is to play harder than the person across from me and have a little bit more heart than they do.
