Ron Jones Men Quotations

We can make all the excuses we want but part of it is we don't have many sophomores out there and we've got a lot of freshmen out there playing college basketball for the first time. Sometimes going through something like this gives you a comfort level the next time.

We've honored veterans before, and it's normally the men who get honored, but this year we thought we'd give it a twist and honor the women. You women need to be honored.

We have to understand that what we did in preseason meant nothing in conference and what we did in conference is not going to determine the outcome of this game. Everybody is even keel. We've got to play ourselves into the regional tournament and anything can happen.

It's like the same song but different verse. We do a lot of good things in a basketball game, but I told the team that we're not mentally tough enough to close out games. We're not mentally strong enough to do the little things to help us become successful.
