Brian Brandtner Quotations

The big guy (Bogan) came in and D.D. (Gillespie) left and that kind of created a void at the guard spot. Jeff was willing to let his numbers take a hit for a while until he figured everything out and the team figured everything out.

They're a phenomenal team. They've got a very athletic 6-11 kid. They've got great guards that can all score, shoot and handle the ball. ... We're going to go give them our best effort and see if we can't sneak a win out.

I've been a nervous wreck, to be honest, these last couple of days up here. But I knew once the tip-off came, I'd be fine.

He can really be a presence. When Brandon figures out how to grind it out and how to play hard with high intensity all the time, he's really going to be a handful.

He is the most dominant player in the area. Ask any coach that played against us how much they had to game plan against him. Any coach that says he doesn't want him is a liar.

We've got to come out here and play our butts off (against Puxico). We can't give up rebounds like we did tonight. We can't give up as many points as we did tonight. I thought Advance did a good job of scoring a lot of points. They got a lot of rebounds against us. We're going to have to play our A game.

That just speaks volumes of how deep of a team we are. On any other team, a lot of these guys all would probably be first team. ... It's a heck of an accomplishment for our team. It's a great personal accomplishment for those guys that made it. Hard work paid off.

I thought we got a lot of good looks on offense. We ran the floor well. We looked opposite and that got the defense moving. We took a lot of open shots in rhythm and more times than not, you're going to knock them down.

I thought we executed best toward the end. We executed well down the stretch.

They've been all showing great leadership. This senior group, I credit these guys with how we play.
