Brandon Jenkins Quotations

It really wasn't a big deal to me, but I guess those guys wanted to see it so I took it hard to the basket.

It's a little pressure, but the freshmen really don't understand yet. I'm not sure they realize we're in last place in the Big East (actually tied for 12th) and we really need to win some games right now.

Our first half was great. We did everything Coach wanted us to do. We had 28 deflections in the first half; we had 50 total in the game. Our pressure was going good for us in the first half. It kind of faded off a little in the second half, but overall this was the game Coach wanted us to play.

It's been a long time. I don't want to be a selfish guy. I've been a point guard most of my life and I like to pass a lot. This is new to me.

I've never felt this way. I never lost this many games in my two years here. We're just a young team. We've got to get tougher.

I think a lot of guys on this team learned a whole lot this season. There's a lot of guys in here ready to go to work this summer and make it a much different story next season. I think we've got a good future.

It lets them know we can be in there and we can win close games. Don't be scared, just get in there with confidence.

We go to Rutgers (Saturday). Coach told us their arena is a mini-Kentucky, that Rutgers and Pittsburgh are the two toughest places to play in the Big East. We'll have to go in there and play the same defense we played tonight.

We got more pressure on them, got in their face and disrupted their offense.

That was my assignment not making it so comfortable for him.
