Greg Johnson Good Quotations

Now that we're tied in points with 33 games left, we've got as good an opportunity as we've ever had to finish ahead of them. Against a team like Detroit, that gives you some confidence to go forward. There's still a long way to go, but (the two wins) sure don't hurt.

I was shocked by the size and the fact they were really into the game. It brought back some great memories and hopefully it's a sign of good things to come.

I think Eric would like to stay. He's big on loyalty. But it's got to make good sense for both parties. It's got to be truly, truly a win-win situation.

Those guys should feel good about the way they played. This is a very tough team in a very tough building.

You look at the way that guys have stepped in and played this season and it just shows the depth in the organization. Everyone has come in and contributed, and that's kind of what you're looking for on a good team.

We always wanted to see the Tennis Garden utilized for something besides tennis, ... This is very good news and we hope to see more of (these events) in the future.

We wanted to provide them with the greatest encouragement, that the city of Indian Wells and PM Sports are working together, ... And we reached terms so they can feel confident coming in, that this is a good deal for them. We set the stage for it to be a good deal economically.

Both are fairly fast and have good size. It's nice to have (those types of players) in the back.

It's just a question of developing. It'll be good for them to get a little experience.

I've known them for years. It's like a homecoming for me going back to the SWAC. It gives me a little insight because I had gone against Coach Thomas when he was at Pine Bluff and Valley. When I was at Jackson State, he was at Alcorn. Coach McKenzie, going up against him the last couple of years, I've got a pretty good idea of what to expect from them and the players they're playing with.

It was a good year, so for it to end like this is so disappointing. Our expectations were higher and this was not acceptable.

I like playing with those guys because they can do a bit of everything. They're solid on the walls, they always make the smart plays, they're good defensively, and they can create things in the offensive zone.

You can't take away from the record we'd put together, but it's true that we'd struggled against some of the good opponents. Hopefully this will give us a little confidence.
