James Jones Team Quotations

It's kind of hard to compare what they did to Cornell and Columbia to our team because we're so different. If we're going to beat them, we just need to take care of the basketball and take care of ourselves. We have to do the things we're capable of and that we're supposed to do.

I'm a setup guy and tonight I made a couple of shots and got us going. We work well together and have a great second unit. We have so many great playmakers on this team that constantly get the shooters open looks.

We had these guys, but special teams hurt us a lot. We couldn't stop them as well sometimes on defense in situations. We've just got to make more plays.

It felt good, as good as it can be coming back from a severe ankle sprain. The adrenaline was going, the electricity was in the building and my teammates were playing hard. I mean, that drives you. I'm pretty sure I'll feel a little bit of something later tonight or tomorrow, but it really doesn't matter, we got a win.

That's definitely an opportunity lost for them, but they're a good team and they'll keep fighting.

It's just another game against a team in our league.

I think that they shoot the ball very well from outside. Their biggest problem is they lost their center and they haven't replaced him with someone scoring under the basket and running the team on the offensive end. If you don't come to play and defend them, they're able to make shots.

I think that when you play a team a second time, and the first time you play them you destroy them, your psyche isn't in the right place. We all knew that this game wouldn't be easy, and that we would have to play harder than we did in the first game, but we didn't do that.
