beauty equality gave intellect looked parity people pride realize recognize respect sell white
What he looked for was parity and equality and respect, and I think that he did get. Now, the respect, yes, I don't know if we have the parity and the equality because there are still advertisers who don't think of Ebony. There are still advertisers who don't think of Jet. Where we have to go in and sell them and re-sell them constantly, constantly, but I think it's the respect of the white community, that's what he wanted. I want people to realize what he did for African-Americans; he gave us a face. He made people recognize the beauty in us, the intellect in us, and also the pride that we have.

All the games we played prior to region play really helped us out. Our kids are really understanding what we have to do. They know each other and what we can do on the floor.
except games maybe players rice tough
Every one of these games between Burlington and Rice that I've been in, except for maybe one or two, comes down to the end and with players making tough plays.
chance difference games ourselves rally team trying
It is a disappointing loss. When we come to the games we try and give ourselves a chance to win. I wasn't trying to rally the team by getting ejected; I think it was more a difference of opinion.
coming games guys road shots tough
Guys couldn't make shots and we weren't able to get into a flow. We let this one get away and it's very disappointing with two tough road games coming up.
fun games love mud playing slam weeks
If I had a wish, it would be to play in games like this 16 weeks of the year. I love playing this way. It's so much fun to get in the mud and slam around.
detroit games great less talk
The Detroit games were great to talk about, but it doesn't make any of the other games less important.
causes felt games open opportunity pressure problems safe teams year zones
It's safe to say this was one of our better games all year. I've felt all along, all year long, that zones give us the opportunity to get open looks. And when teams get up after us man-to-man and pressure us on the half-court and full-court, it causes problems for us.
confident games happen itself known last light miss time
But I should have known better as me being a target, ... I'm pretty sure, I'm confident that this will make light of itself and hopefully, I know I won't miss any games and nothing else will come of this. Just basically, this should be the last time this will happen again.
challenge chance evaluate focus four games ourselves towards
Our focus is always on the Gateway, and we use the four non-conference games as a chance to evaluate towards that. (Eastern Illinois) will be a challenge for us. We'll know a lot more about ourselves when we get on Saturday.
defensive five four games goals happy helped lines period teams third wearing
I was happy with the play of the team, especially with our defensive play. To give up five goals in four games is a real accomplishment for this team. We have been able to play all four lines most of the time, and I think that has really helped us in the third period wearing teams down.
excited games good hard obviously start weeks
Obviously it's a good start and we are pretty excited with the way things are going but it's only two games in and we have got 20 hard weeks to go before we can even look at anything else.
defensive games improved last won year
That's where I think we're much improved over last year is the defensive end of the court. Last year in a lot of games we relied on outscoring the other team. We won a lot of games in the 80s and even in the 90s.
