Saul Phillips Quotations

We were supposed to act like we've been here before but we hadn't. Our guys just went numb.

He's had one or two games when he had eight, other than that he always has 12, 14, 16 points.

He's also much better defensively. He chases very, very well through screens and draws tough assignments with good shooting guards. At the mid-major level, that's where a lot of the good scorers are.

We've been a very competitive mid-major program. We're starting to come together. It's a good group. It's just that it's a young group so there have been some ups and downs.

We had a really young group there and we had to lean on them and said, 'You're freshmen but you can't play like one because we need you.' That's very similar to what we're doing here. It gives me a lot of hope because that group went on after we were gone and competed very well at the Horizon League level.

It's been an age of discovery, I guess. That's a way to put it. Everything is a new experience and we've been competitive in 99.9 percent of the games we've played in and won some of them.
