Ron Palcic Quotations

Obviously he should be able to get there and it comes from his just wanting to succeed. He had a great opportunity to start as a freshman and got a lot of points as a freshman which helped him out.

Franco is a great student of the game. He's a gym rat, he brings that to the team and he has great passing skills.

He was on fire and, when somebody's on fire like that, they try to carry it through the whole game. But when I needed ball-control and patience a little bit as a team, he dialed into that.

Rebounding is one of our strengths and we just didn't rebound in the first half. I was upset and we talked about that at halftime.

I was real happy with the finish. I got some subs in and they all played well. Everybody I used in the game stepped up and played well.

I would like him to pick up his scoring a little bit and I know I'm preaching a teamwork aspect of the game, so he might be looking to pass a little more and that might be cutting into his scoring.

The teamwork was there, the great passing was there and the finishing of the great passing. I think everything was clicking.

It's a tremendous feeling. We talked about it. Living it and sharing it with Jeannette is fine.

If I could only bottle that first quarter and take it with me to the next game. I'd absolutely do that.

(The difference) was their shooting early. They were really hot and (Goetz) is a real good player. He controlled the game, the tempo and made his foul shots. We knew he was an excellent foul shooter and he proved it.
