Shawn Knaub Quotations

If the season were to end today, it would be Willie. He's put that team on his back. I have to be honest, I didn't think he was the type of player who could make his teammates better. But he's definitely done that this season.

It's been kind of frustrating. I wish it weren't this way. I wish that our season could be judged by what's happening on the basketball court, but unfortunately things haven't been that way. The problem is that I thought we would be all right. But we haven't stepped up the way we should have.

Alex has been that way for us all year. He's the only player that we have who can put the ball on the floor and tak e it all the way to the basket. That's why he's such a valuable player.

He was easily the most important player to his team.

We know that we're not going to be able to dribble the ball now. So now we have to move the ball with the pass. There are plenty of teams that play without natural point guards. We have to become one of them.

When this happened, the kids were just deflated. They had their sights set so high. This was a team that had state championship type talent.

If we can get it back in the last six to eight games then we have a chance to regroup for the playoffs. The good thing is that they're six winnable games. We have to get back to playing with each other.

We look like we went from a VW to a Ferrari. The way we're moving up and down the floor, compared to what was happing when Mike was out, is incredible. Practice looks completely different.

We just didn't play well enough to win tonight. We had our chances, but we also had some careless turnovers. That's pretty much what it came down to.
