Randy Bennett Quotations

We're not as bad as our record. Most games we're playing decent.

We're looking forward to making the trip to Australia as it is an opportunity of a lifetime for the players. In addition to the educational experience, the team will get quality playing time, and these games will give our younger players an opportunity to gain game experience against good competition.

He got us going and he took over the game.

He just needs somebody that understands these kinds of dogs.

I think we have some teams who started slow but are playing better than their record. But our RPI ratings are low, so I don't think we can get anybody else in the NCAA without winning the WCC tournament.

I said, 'Hey, it's time for you to go. He hadn't touched the ball much. He hadn't had his opportunities to score. He started getting the ball. Once he got going it was a great effort on his part.

Somehow, we've got to make shots. Those little things make a big difference in a game like that.

I was thinking he would take shots we would win with. He kept hitting them. There is a toughness about him. He can win a game. He started doing that.

We'll be able to see if we've improved.

We were losing the guy we play off probably 60 percent of the game.

We haven't been able to separate all year. The last two games we lost on the last play.

We called a couple little deals for him to get him going. It's a process. You get confidence by having success.

Unbelievable. They had high self-esteem. That's what prevailed for us.

You don't know if you're going to get that good a shot again. He's a good shooter.

You have to rethink, can you play somebody in? As a coach that was the challenge.

There's no question it'll help us. If we end up being bad, it means we would have been even worse without it. The trip just gives you a chance to build team cohesion, something you can't get any other way.

They always do a good job on Daniel.

The scoring record is impressive. The fact he's never missed a game, never missed a start is more impressive.

The swimmers were thrilled. It was a really heart-felt moment. Some of the parents were in tears. You hear about athletes but very seldom do you hear about them giving back at that level. That's a significant level of money for a guy that doesn't make a lot of money.

As media proliferates, people have a variety of media choices, and competition for traditional media is pretty intense. Newspapers are seeing a slow, gradual decline in their readership. The question is, can a free newspaper without much of a brand enter the market? I think there are a lot of challenges for that sort of business model going forward.

They're sporadic. Sometimes they're close. Sometimes they're not.

It's something he feels he didn't get and he feels it needs to happen. He has the idea and vision to do it.

Everybody's got to do a little better and pick it up so we can get over the hump. I've been telling people and telling the guys that this team has been playing well, but not well enough to win. I told them if you play well and keep doing what you're doing, you'll break through. They're a better team than their record shows.

It took those guys a while. They believed they were good.

They weren't bad talent-wise, they just didn't have the habits you have to have to win, ... It's a mental thing. I had to get them to look at the glass as half full.

They have to do other things, get the ball to the side players and not turn it over.

I didn't think our energy level was very good defensively. We weren't very active. We just weren't alert defensively. In the second half I think we were more alert, and they missed some shots. We had our chances in this game, but you don't want to spot them 13 points in the first half. This is a team we can beat, especially on our home court.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I don't profess to know a lot but I think that's the way to do it.

He's in a struggle, so we're in a struggle.

He ran that timeout period before the overtime. And guess who hits the 3 right out of the gate?

The crowd is right on you and it's always packed. The crowd is very in tune with the game. And their team is very good. That's the No. 1 factor.
