Matt Osborne Quotations

I was hoping he could at least see out of one eye, so he could still shoot.

We have a pretty good defender to put on him. Zack played straight man and held him to 11 points (in the first meeting). I don't think we'll change up.

They were bigger than us, but they didn't shoot the ball real well from the outside. We wanted to make them beat us from the outside.

If we defend better and offensively get everybody else involved and looking to score we'll be all right. And definitely, we need to keep them off the offensive boards.

The biggest thing is he makes everyone around him better. He was a great leader on the team.

We got a lot of points inside and we really hit the offensive boards, which I thought we could do a better job of.

I've seen him do it 100 times in practice. The guys know if they get open, he'll find them.

That game was definitely a boost. We know we can play with anyone. We have much higher expectations now. These guys are hungry. The players have put in a lot of hard work, and it's good to see we're finally there.

We're probably play a little more up-tempo than last game.

He's the ultimate team player. He plays both ends of the floor and probably plays harder on the defensive end. He knows everyone needs to be involved in our offense, so if he can beat a guy or two, he's going to dish for an easier shot.
