Stanley Burrell Quotations

We just came out with a lack of energy. We didn't have that pop that we usually do on the defensive end and on the offensive end. I don't know what to attribute it to. We can't come out flat like that. We have to come out with that fire from the get-go.

I've been waiting for Coach to give me an opportunity (to play point guard). But if Dedrick is playing like that, we don't need to go to anybody else anymore. Johnny (Wolf) comes in and gives him some minutes when he gets tired, but when he's playing like this, we don't need anybody else.

I remember talking at the beginning of the week about having a long road ahead of us. Now we have to get over the last hurdle.

I can't even put it into words right now. It seems like it's all like a dream right now. The way things were going for us, it was like this season's a wrap. It's over. And we just dug ourselves out of it, hung together. Now, we're going to get our name called (today). I can't believe it.

I was the last one to walk in, and I expected everybody to be jumping around. We were happy about our performance, but guys were like, 'Next game.' We have to keep working.

He has no class whatsoever. He's a great player. He made some great plays down the stretch. But the things he was saying were ridiculous.

I give all the credit to Saint Louis. They did a great job contesting our shots and being real physical.

I told him to stop worrying so much about being a jump-shooter and to be a slasher. Use mid-range and get to the rim. He does a great job of getting to the basket. He does a good job of getting to the rim and finishing with the big guys.

Exciting. We've got so much firepower coming back. Adding a couple new guys, especially Drew (Lavender). We can't wait to get him here. It's going to make things a whole lot easier for everybody.

We can't play like (we did), especially when you're losing a guy like Brian who brings so much to the table. You really have to scrap and claw for everything. Everybody had to step up and play a whole different level of energy, and we just didn't have it.
