Affect Quotes
We're going to have to be patient in what we do on offense and attack the basket. The most important thing is to make them play defense, and not play them shot-for-shot. We have to value each and every possession. That's when we're at our best, and I think that will affect them if we can do that.

Against Quotes
If we can get through this week (with wins) against Fairfield and Tatum, I'd feel a lot better about that ranking. The kids are excited about the game. What kid wouldn't want to be a part of a game like this? This one right here is going to be every bit as big as every other big game.

Believe Quotes
I feel good about what we're doing. We just have to break (Roosevelt's) press and handle the pressure. We can't get in a track meet with them. I think (our players) believe they're going to win. They're not going to panic if Greene doesn't play. This happens. I have full confidence in them.

Ball Quotes
When he squares up and releases the ball when he wants to, I'm extremely confident it's going in. He has tremendous mechanics. The only time when his shooting percentage goes down is when he doesn't take a good shot or when someone's on him. The most important thing is when he's taking the ball to the basket. When he does that, he's a dangerous player.

Asked Quotes
He's 6-4 and can shoot the ball, can handle it and is probably the best passer on the team. If he sees that a guard is guarding him, he'll go down to the post. And he can shoot from outside if a post or a big forward is on him. He can also guard on the perimeter or at the post. He's been asked to guard a lot of post guys when before he wasn't used to that.

Believe Quotes
Our leadership and confidence in each other made them believe they would win (against Pittsburg). I think (Princeton) is going to focus defensively on Greene and try to take him out of the game, and I'm expecting them to use their post men to get ours in foul trouble. But we're in the regional tournament now. We just have to suck it up and hope for the best.

Game Quotes
This is a totally different type of game (than the game with Van). Fairfield wants to outscore you. I think we're going to get plenty of scoring opportunities. It's just getting the shot we want and stopping them. I'm not worried about scoring points ... we've got to stop them. That's the whole focus.

Chance Quotes
It's an inside sprain, which is worse than an outside sprain. We're going to ice it and do some stimulation in the morning to see if we can flush some of the swelling out. People will say we have no chance with Brody going down, but I don't think so. I think desire and refusing to lose goes a long way.
