Randy Rutledge Quotations

Luke's execution from the point, and his defense on Fischer was big. Luke has grown a lot this season.

He got us going, and then he helped us finish.

What do you tell the guys? All I can say is I'm proud of them. They got it done heart to win for each other.

We're progressing. I'm pleased with our recent improvement in rebounding and defense.

We're pretty balanced on offense and we're at our best when we have four or five guys score 15 points. It's always nice when Jeremy (Chappell) goes for 30, but we have grown so much as a team that he doesn't have to.

We're playing the toughest schedule we've ever played.

Those are staggering numbers. Without him we wouldn't have had the leadership and confidence we had. He showed up to play every game. He gave it his all.

We have four guys who really are tremendous scorers. I think we showed everyone that Jeremy isn't all we have. We're a team.

It was good for us to show we can beat someone without Jeremy. It gives us a little more confidence in ourselves as we get ready for the playoffs.

I don't think any of this has gone to his head. He's a team leader. Our offensive scheme is to execute the plays. Jeremy does that instead of just shooting the ball. But the rest of the team is still a little bit young and I think they look to get him the ball.
