Basketball Quotes
We are very excited about this large recruiting class. I feel we are bringing in some guards that can help us immediately and some forwards and centers that will probably be our front line of the future. These players are not only good basketball players but most have excelled in different sports.
-
Allow Quotes
We did a nice job of holding down their two guards out front but then we didn't execute very well in the fourth quarter and they took over the game. We can't allow that to happen again. It's going to be a tough assignment but this is the same road that Johnson took to the Final Four last year and we would like to duplicate that.
-
Advice Quotes
Brett is doing a good job, coming in as walk-on and now starting. He's doing a good job not turning the ball over, and being poised. It's really not a big surprise he's playing well because we see it in practice every day. We just commend him on his willingness to step up and take that role. The senior guards just try to give him as much advice as we can and keep him positive.
-
Athletic Quotes
Early on, we had a real difficult time attacking their defense. We were standing around. We just didn't attack them. We were standing around waiting for things to happen. They're athletic and they're long and we were leaving our guards out to dry. We changed things a bit and we started getting more aggressive.

Earlier Quotes
First time she's ever played varsity and she stepped up and did a nice job. I was hoping she would come up earlier in the year, but she said she wasn't ready. Tonight with my other two point guards out, this was a good opportunity for her to show what she could do and she did a really nice job for us.
-
Center Quotes
There's no question that he's a special player for us, ... I can play him at forward or center and he switches out on guards on pick-and-rolls. I can play him after he sits there for three quarters and he does a great job. I can play him when I feel we need a more physical presence tonight, more defense. He does everything for us. He's important for us.

Best Quotes
There's not a better back court, I believe, as far as their quickness, experience, defense and scoring. We've got the two best guards in northern Wisconsin. Both of them are very quick and their speed on offense wears the other team down on defense. When the other team gets worn down, that can cause more turnovers.
-
Affect Quotes
THE tongue is the armour of heart; it guards one's life. Loud talk, long talks, wild talk, and talk full of anger and hate; all these affect the health of man. Why is silence said to be golden? The silent man has no enemies, though he may not have friends. He has the leisure and the chance to delve within himself and examine his own faults and failings. He has no more inclination to seek them (fault) in others.
-
Basketball Quotes
I've been coaching for 34 years and if there are two better guards I would like to see them. Derrick has been playing a lot smarter and a lot more physical. He is also handling the ball better. Donald is also playing very well. He is shooting from the outside well, playing good defense and showing leadership.
-
Backup Quotes
The thing that I have is flexibility. Both my starting guards can also play tackle. My backup center can play both guard and center, so I have a little flexibility there with some guys that have a little more experience, not that they are the most experienced guys. But I am comfortable with that.
-
Bigger Quotes
Temple is a different animal. They don't run a lot of offensive sets to free shooters. It's more one-on-one with bigger guards that can shoot over the top of you. We'll have our hands full. They don't have a post presence outside of Wayne Marshall that scores consistently in the post. We have to do a better job of focusing out on their shooters.
-
Came Quotes
No question Kevin came in here certainly on a mission, not that he wasn't when we went to Pitt, but I thought we were a little out of character that game. We tried probably to do too much and we didn't realize how good their defense is and we took shots that we thought were good shots, but in retrospect, they weren't because Pitt guards you. This time, Kevin was a little more patient and the result -- he scores 26 more points than he did the first time.
-
Everybody Quotes
Some people thought he was a lock to be a first-rounder. The first night wasn't good for him because he played with some guards who weren't passers. In the second and third night he shot the heck out of the ball. So he proved what everybody knew. And he's got some other stuff to his game.

Best Quotes
Defensively, I thought that was our best effort all year. When you deal with a kid like Mike Tisdale who's seven foot and can do a lot of different things, you need a total team effort. I thought our guards really got after it and we made it hard to get it into Mike. And when we did that, Matt (Buren) was there to at least contain.
-
Beat Quotes
That's where seniors are valuable. We panicked a little bit. We wanted to spread them out and get isolation to beat their guards one-on-one. We'd dribble to the side and stumble or get caught in the corner and get trapped. That's what happens with two seniors and three underclassmen on the floor, or with one out, four underclassmen.
-
Deal Quotes
That?s why you keep three point guards on most teams, so if you have this situation you?re not in real trouble. We?re prepared for these kinds of things. We didn?t prepare for it to be in the first game of the Finals. But it happens, so we?ll just try to deal with it and hope something good happens.
