Rick Barnes Night Quotations

We're a better offensive team than we were the other night. We turned down some open shots, so we need to be aggressive. Being aggressive is taking an open shot.

He was a little jumpy the other night, and we got him for it. He had a great response. He definitely had a different perspective on things.

He is the difference in this team. We know he is going to give us everything he?s got, and he does every night he goes out there.

I think it was a situation on this night that (Tech) missed a lot of shots. We were obviously taller and longer, so we could get those rebounds.

We had a tough night shooting the ball.

Every game in this league, as you know in any league, that night you've got to be ready to play. We've got to continue to improve. There are areas we definitely can improve in.

This might be the worst game he's had shooting 3s, but he did a great job at the free throw line. With those five assists, it was a real good night for him.

I look at it, and we didn't have a good night shooting the ball, but we still scored 82 points. There really were some good things.

I didn't know how P.J. would react. What he went through the other night was tough. We spent a lot of time to tell him he could bounce back. I told him the best thing would be to get lost in the game defensively and thought he was really good.
