Vance Cooksey Quotations

It came down to execution. We did not execute when we had the chance. Free throws and lay-ups are something we practice every day. But we didn't execute when we had the chance, and that made all the difference tonight.

Our offense was in sync in the second quarter. We were passing the ball well and moving it down the court quickly. I think a lot of our success happened because we were moving fast enough to keep them from getting set.

We were 9-17 my sophomore year. We made a vow to turn this program around. This year our goal was 20 wins. We were able to surpass that, and I'm pretty proud of that.

We spent a lot of time in practice learning who he was. So we were ready for him every time he got the ball.

As a captain, I knew coming out of the locker room that I had to step up. Coach Taylor has a lot of confidence in us, and he told us to go out and play with confidence in ourselves.

I know that if we keep winning, the scouts and coaches will be out to see us. I'm not about that stuff, I'm about this team and helping this team win.

I just wasn't going to back down. I was going to be aggressive.
