Greg Jackson Team Quotations

I think our kids learned something from this experience. Anytime you come on this level, and in this place, and lose by 14 and outscore them 41-32 after halftime, it shows we're not a team that's ever going to quit.

It's obvious they get into transition, but we're not going to run up and down the floor with them. I just hope our team has the legs and drive left to win this game.

We're nowhere near where we were last year. By the grace of God and only by his grace that we were undefeated in this conference and it showed tonight; we're very vulnerable in a lot of different areas and teams are starting to exploit our weakness and hopefully, we can get back to addressing our weaknesses. We're nowhere near the number-one team in the conference, especially the way we played tonight.

I don't know if you can learn anything at this point in the season. I think now this team just knows how much work it has to do.

You had two teams playing a hard game. Who was going to get knocked out first?

We've got to get stronger. With the players coming back and the ones coming in, we've got to get stronger. If we do that, we could have one of the best teams ever at Delaware State.

We've finally got some guys back there who are tough mentally. We've gotten these big interceptions when teams have been driving on us. We've been tired, but we've been able to focus and concentrate.

It's so hard being down 12-14 points the way we play. We are not a team that is going to come back from that type of deficit. We played catch-up the whole ball game.

I thought their defensive intensity in the first 11 or 12 minutes caused us a lot of problems. We didn't make shots and pretty much got away from our game plan. Anytime you play a team at this level and only score 13 points, you're not going to give yourself much of a chance.
