Dee Brown Team Quotations

Carolina doesn't have a chance. They're a good team, but the Bears are a great defensive team and they're in Chicago.

I think every team comes out and just gives it their all and plays good team basketball, and we've got to be focused every game and come out with intensity.

Every team is going to play hard. The intensity level is so high I can't explain it.

Our experience is an advantage, but it's a team thing and can't just be two guys. You just try to tell the young guys how hard they have to play and how much they have to want to win. It's our job to deliver that message.

You're always going to be compared to last year's team whatever you do, ... You can't do that. It's going to be a different team and it's going to be fun to watch because everybody's so new.

They're real good. I feel bad about D.J. White. If they had him, they'd be a tough team to beat. They're still a tough team to beat. But that added a little more extra problems for you.

They have some good players. They're a scary team and I don't think anyone would want to play them in the first round.

It opens up a lot of things. We push the ball and put pressure on the other team to get easy buckets. I think it opened up the game for us.

I've got to continue to play well. We're a better team when I play well. That's the pressure of being an athlete.

I'm just thinking about what I could have done to make the team win.

I don't think they are an easy team at all. They are a good team, well-coached, a disciplined ball club.

This is my fourth year in the tournament, so you already know what to expect, the intensity and how hard the team's going to play. It's a big advantage for us coming out, understanding how much energy we have to put out there to beat a team in the first round.
