Troy Powell Quotations

I told my guys there is no pressure on us because we were given a No. 4 seed. I also told them to play with heart because we've won two in a row, but there isn't all that pressure because we are the No. 4 seed.

One thing we did well was we handled their full-court press. They've got a lot of quickness, and they press the whole game.

It's huge to get a home game in our region playoffs. I'm very excited about that.

We really tried to talk about scoring more points. In the second half, we started to just go off against them.

It was really exciting to win it again. It's two totally different feelings to play in it and coach in it. I'm a lot more nervous as a coach than I was as a player. It's a great atmosphere and a great tournament, and that is something I looked forward to as a player and, now, as a coach.

Everybody here knows that family, and everybody is affected by it. It could have been any of our families.

Throughout the year, he helped a lot offensively, and his leadership quality was also huge. He was one guy who really willed us to win a couple of games throughout the season.

It was great experience coaching this group of guys. It was a great season, and we learned a lot as a team.

We showed resiliency when we were down by nine, and we didn't give up.

He missed some shots in the first half, but in the second half, I told him and everybody else to keep shooting and eventually they would start to drop. I guess he took it to heart because they started to drop, and we were looking for him. He kept making all of the plays for us.
