Mike Brey Good Quotations

I don't know if anybody's shocked. We felt they were going to be a pretty good basketball team and maybe were being undersold a little bit in the preseason.

It was important for them to smile a little bit in the locker room. We haven't been able to do that in awhile. Hopefully that's good therapy for us as we get back to work.

It's good we won. It's the Urban Irish, the Urban Irish, all right? Even in South Bend.

The main thing is to be resilient. Our guys are resilient. We are going to have to watch some West Virginia tape tonight and get ready. They were a very good team.

We do know where the ball should go. We're unselfish. Probably what we did tonight, too, was we had a good number of guys make shots. I think we're a good shooting team. I don't know if we've had this many guys flowing and shoot the ball well. à I'd like to see us carry it over Friday night.

I don't think we played very well early in the game. A lot of that was Georgetown. They're a very good basketball team. I'm just proud we gave ourselves a chance to win.

Unbelievable. He really did a good job with tempo.

I told our guys, we're not picked in any polls. I think for this group, that's probably a very good atmosphere for them to be in.

He does a good job drawing fouls. He's crafty like that.

I like starting the way we start. We've gotten off to good starts with four perimeter players and a big. That's been a good out-of-the-gate lineup.

Padgett did a great job on both ends. And Jenkins did some good things down the stretch.

I think our fans will rally with this group. There's one thing with this basketball team: They've fought and they've dug and they've been a pretty good example for people.

I know we can shoot free throws better than we have. We have to work on that a little bit because that's a good weapon for us. If were getting to the bonus by using those big guys we've got to convert.

I think it says a lot about him as a senior. He hadn't been at the line and he really wasn't in a rhythm. They did a good job jamming and doubling him, and he threw it away a couple times. I'm very proud of him to step up and make them. There's no doubt he was very confident.
