Solomon Jones Guys Quotations

We didn't want to go out with a major blowout. Me and James, this is our last few games, and if we can get a win against one of the top teams in the country, that's going to be an inspiration for the guys coming back next year.

If we're not convinced that we can play with people, then we'll never be convinced. I think most of our guys are convinced that we can just line up with anybody out there.

I could tell a real difference, and it made me proud. His body has always had its own idea of how much weight it should hold, and he's put in a lot of time to get where he can body up against guys who weigh 260 or 270.

Guys came out and just laid it all on the floor. We played our best basketball against ranked teams. We can play with these guys at this level.

I think that's what made me better. That year off, seeing other guys play, knowing I'd missed the opportunity to be out there. After that, I couldn't quit. I won't quit. I can't put my head down after that.

Even if we're 0-11 in the Big East, I can't quit on my teammates. You have guys leave, and I feel sorry for them. You never know what you have until it's gone. You quit a team, you sit in the stands and watch, and then you realize how blessed you are to have this opportunity.
