Michael Neal Quotations

We knew what we had to do, we just weren't tough enough in the second half to maintain the lead or carry out the lead. That's what it comes down to when you're playing a tough team on the road. You've got to be tough.

When I got the ball with an open look I knew I was going to knock it down. When the ball was in my hands I just felt I had to make it for my team.

I got it off as quick as I could. There was contact I thought, but I wasn't expecting to get a call. That's just the way it goes.

I think it's important for a local community to be able to measure the diversity of its local and regional economy.

It has a lot to do with our post players. They get a lot of attention and leave a lot of things open for me and the other guards. They have been getting a lot of attention all season and I've been getting open shots, but now I'm hitting them consistently.

They outplayed us. They were better. They defended hard and played more aggressive. They wanted it more.

I really think I needed junior college. It got me ready to play Division I ball and prepared me for what to expect.
