Joe Becerra Quotations

There are some guys here who could play in the NBA.

We've a young team. We've got to be happy that we're still up at the top after seven games.

It definitely affects us. Jermaine plays a major part of what we're trying to do offensively, and in establishing our identity as a team. So definitely it's a setback. But we have a lot of guys, so we expect guys to step up.

We really worked hard tonight to share and distribute the ball. We have a lot of great athletes on this team ... a lot of great characters. And they just keep improving.

We really worked hard this week again on getting out on the break and getting some easy buckets in transition. I think if you can't get up for basketball in this environment, you're not going to get up for basketball.

We knew that the fans could adapt easier to the team if they were familiar with some of the guys.

We did a good job of stretching their offense in the second half.

Our defense really came through for us in that second quarter and maintained it the rest of the half.

I'd say for him to average the 30 points he did in college this past season is an attainable goal for him.
