Jody Conradt Quotations

Right now, it's about connection and chemistry, because this team really likes each other, but they haven't figured out how to get connected on the court. They are all trying, but you have to have impetus on both ends of the floor.

We have too many injuries, and we didn't have any way of knowing this was going to happen to us. The team we have on the floor right now is not the team we projected having at this point in the season.

We just don't have enough offensive weapons. It's hard when every offensive possession is critical.

They were aggressive. We gave them way too many fast-break baskets in the first half. I think I counted up (that) there were 26 points off turnovers and fast-break points they had in the first half.

I'm always proud of a team that refuses to lose. There were times we looked like we would totally lose connection to Missouri, but we kept pecking away.

I expected this kind of performance after the Georgia game. We probably had an inflated perception of ourselves going into Athens.

It's not about moral victories or just playing close. But you've got to take some steps, and I think we did today.

I don't think there's another team in America that is as hard to guard as they are. They wait until you make a mistake, then they knock down shots better than any team I've played.

Duke is really good. There's no question they are good.

It wasn't the kind of effort we expect. It wasn't the kind of effort that's going to be anything except a loss. It's disappointing, because this team is good enough, but in my mind they have underachieved. Today was probably the low point of that.
