Billy Lange Great Quotations

Simmons and Hamilton are great guards. They work hard to get the ball and their ability to make tough shots can be a back breaker. I have tremendous respect for both of them.

I don't care about points or stats or anything like that. All I care about is seeing our team play with great passion on defense. You can't be a good basketball program unless you truly believe that defense wins championships. We're getting there.

I thought this was our most complete game of the season, by far. I like where we're headed. I'm happy our guys are seeing how we have to win. We played great defense and did a good job of sharing the basketball.

People keep looking at them and saying, 'Ah they are not that good,' but that's a bunch of baloney. That's a very, very good team. They've got great guards who know how to win.

I thought Jay Greene did a great job of driving the ball and finding open men. His ability to break down our whole defense was a big reason they shot so well.

We can't afford to start a game not sharp. Our offensive energy needs to be higher. Holy Cross had a lot to do with that. They are a physical team that plays great defense.
