Tony Skinn Game Quotations

Shaq wants to win, and he's a winner. It's one of those things where he sees how good this team can be, and if he steps his game up, it's going to make us better.

I am very sorry and I deeply regret my actions on Sunday. In the heat of a tense game, I lost my head and made a bad decision. I'm not making excuses for my actions and I take full responsibility for what I did. I want to take this opportunity to apologize to Loren Stokes, who I have great respect for. I also want to say I'm sorry to Hofstra University's players, coaches and fans. They played a terrific game and that should not be overshadowed by what I did.

Going into that game we wanted to play the same basketball we'd been playing all year. The odds were against us, we were playing on the road, but fortunately for us we went out there and played a great game.

Seeing him be so happy kind of motivates us to know that basketball is a game of fun. You get too serious and get too tense, you might have jitters on the court, so we're trying to stick to that mode of having fun. It works for us.

The game is physical. But it's mental, too. We're a very strong mental team.
