Reggie Theus Quotations

For me being new here, it's everything I thought it would be. It bodes well for us in general. I've heard coaches say this is the best field we've had in a number of years. I'm happy to be part of it.

We have guys that haven't played a game in a year, so the trip this summer will help us in a lot of ways. We'll be able to build chemistry and get some guys some much needed time on the court.

It's going to be a matter of who can get the tempo their way. It will be different because we will have Elijah back.

Our coaches taught us that, as young black men, it's not enough to be good. If you're not better than, you're not going to get the shot, ... Not on the court, not in life.

I think not making the NIT will fuel our fire for next year.

The referee said (Fisher) threw a punch. It's a bonehead move if he did it. I didn't see it.

I wasn't sure what he meant by that.

I wasn't pleased with the 36, but I didn't think it was a dominant 36.

After Elijah got hurt, I guess the guys dug deeper and came up defensively. They got things taken care of.

It's disappointing for my guys. But the great thing about it is that before this season started, who would have thought that we'd be disappointed by not making the N.I.T.? So the glass is definitely half full.
