Mike Brey Quotations

Last year everyone went, this year we've got four guys not going. On a daily basis, it's intense.

It's obvious that Chris Quinn is such a key for us. He's just got to play with that swagger and the rest of the guys are confident. So is his coach.

I think our fans will rally with this group. There's one thing with this basketball team: They've fought and they've dug and they've been a pretty good example for people.

He really pressures the ball. He's another one who can drive to the basket other than Carter.

Got after them a little bit. They knew they could be better. Luke Zeller's offense was a key to giving us some breathing room.

Then I think we got tight. We pressed. It's fair to say that (Colin) Falls and Quinn, I felt for them. You want it so bad, you tie yourself up in knots.

I don't know if anybody's shocked. We felt they were going to be a pretty good basketball team and maybe were being undersold a little bit in the preseason.

We just couldn't defend them in the second half. You could feel it coming.

You knew Dean was going to try to take a forced 3. We tried to steal one on the road, we had it right there, and that's when we needed to win it, right there. ... Louisville was fearless to put that game into overtime.

At least in front of the guys, I was as loose as heck. I was disappointed because we've invested so much. I was just concerned that you don't think you have a shot any more.
