This is probably a test more than anything for everybody, to see who is going to give up and who is going to pack it up and go home.
It's just good to know that people actually appreciate when you do give, ... I'm not the one for a lot of publicity, I'm not one to put myself out there with what I do, but in this case, I hope that it motivates others to give.
I have faith in Glen that he'll do the right thing.
It's about progress. The more you play, the more you progress. ... I can see where he's trying to develop some of this younger talent we have right here.
From here on out until April, all these games are important. But this was a division game, so it was even bigger.
Just being aggressive in the fourth quarter is what I'm focused on.
It was a game that we had to have. As far as momentum and trying to create some with our schedule, this came at the right time...Playing a team that is an aggressive team, I thought we did a good job of meeting that aggression.
Let me tell y'all something: Even though we've been losing and gone through some difficult times, man, we continue to keep our morale up. Our confidence has always been high.
He was one of the very few people that I enjoyed being around, to tell you the truth, because he was just himself. I had a lot of private conversations about being who we are, being people, not being afraid of making mistakes.
I've never been a part of something like this before, so I didn't know what to expect. I was not here for anything else but the people. This weekend was the most memorable weekend I have ever had.
I have my own little style that works for me, I don't try to bite into anybody else's style. When I get clothes made, I make them to my own taste and when you see me come into the arena, that's how I felt that day.
Last year was last year, ... We have a lot to prove. ... If you sense a little bit of a chip on my shoulder, it is. Because last year wasn't really pleasant. The finger-pointing. I felt like people didn't really look at themselves in the mirror. It's a new year. A new day. Happy to be back in the gym and get after it.
I just knew the play all the way, ... I got it up with some extra loft on it. It was an easy shot.
Athleticism is always a good thing. And we have a lot of it, so it helps in both offensive and defensive situations.
