Jason Williams Good Quotations

Our first priority is to go out and win here. We want to finish up the regular season on a good note, get that second seed and get ready for the tournament.

It feels good to finally know who we are playing. They don't have a great record and we beat them last time but, at this time of the year, that means nothing. We've got to come out and play hard every game. This is the tournament and this is a chance for both teams. We've definitely got to rebound. They got 16 offensive rebounds. That's 16 extra possessions. We've got to stop that from happening. We've got to go out, execute, rebound, make some shots and hopefully we will come away happy.

I've seen him play like this all the time. This is what we all knew he could do. It's really no surprise to any of us. It's good to see him go out and dominate pretty much and have fun out there and be a leader.

They sagged off me a little in the first half, so I had to shoot. I never thought I was a good shooter, so I'd probably do the same thing if I were them. But I was just trying to hit my shots when they doubled Shaq.

They are really a good team. They always play us tough. I talked to Bryan Hopkins after the game, wished him good luck the rest of the season. We might see them again at the conference tournament. Who knows?

A conference tournament is always fun. You have all the teams there at one time. And the good thing this year is that all the teams get along good. We will enjoy the atmosphere. Our first goal is to win Saturday and clinch the second seed. We want to at least get to the finals of the conference tournament. We've been there the last two years.

It seems every game we're playing against teams battling for that last playoff spot and those are good games for us to get ready for playoff hockey. We want to get it into their heads that they're not going to beat us in the playoffs.

It was good to go over there rather than sit around and not do anything for a whole year. I'm at the stage of my career where I can't sit out a year and not do anything. Going over there and playing, and getting to play in all situations, it was a good choice and hopefully it'll help me this year.

They've just gotten better and better every year. They've drafted real well, and those young guys are developing into good players.

After watching (Ross) last year and seeing all the great things he did, it was in the back of my mind, 'I can either be as good as him, or try to be better than him,'

I know they have a great secondary player. He's a pretty good player. He can play Division I anywhere.

I'm happy with the point, but you'd still like to get two whenever you can. We had some chances late in the third period and again in the overtime. It was a tight-checking game with a playoff atmosphere. A game like this is good for us to get ready for the playoffs.

I know I'm going to get a good opportunity to get some minutes, get some playing time, so I just want to do what I can to get as much ice time as I can. I don't think it's going to be any easier or anything like that. I know if I don't do my job, I know someone else will be in my spot to do that. I don't want to give that up.

I never thought of myself as a good shooter. I would do the same.

He's a much better scorer. He's been doing really good lately. But I didn't want him to score 30 on me. I didn't even want him to score 20. That doesn't happen.

This is a good feeling. We're coming off a loss (last Saturday at Central Florida) and we want to get to the (NCAA) tournament, and this is the first step.

The media is going to treat you good one day and bad the next day.
