I think SMU is one of the top four teams in this league, especially talent-wise. They’re getting better every game. I’m glad we’ve played them twice.

If you had told me we would shoot 35 percent (actually 35.1) from the field and 52 percent (52.9) from the free-throw line, I’d have said we would have a very hard time winning.

For sure, the winner of this game will get in. The loser will have a long day Sunday.

There isn’t anybody who could have played the schedule they’ve played and have a very good record. When you look at the tapes, you see a very athletic team.

It happened so fast, I don’t think anyone knows what happened. When I feel like this basketball team is ready to move forward with Jason, then that’s what we’ll do.

I know several people have talked about it, and we will wear them. Right now, though, we haven’t gotten the jerseys yet. With today (Monday) being a holiday, I don’t know. But if we get...

SMU is one of the top four teams in this league, talent-wise. I’m glad we’ve already played them twice.

We felt like we could pick up 94 feet – something we were doing earlier in the year when we had more bodies.

We had four guys in double figures and we had 22 assists. That means we were sharing the basketball and we were making some shots.

I’m just so disappointed for John. That guy’s given as much …

We were down 12 on the road and we found a way to win. Give our guys credit. Give Southern Mississippi credit, too. But we have some experienced guys who have won some close ballgames,...

This is a team that has very good guards. They have guards who are capable of scoring points. On the nights when they have scored, they have been very difficult to beat. They have beaten...

I just told the guys that you practice on this floor every day. No way can you let a team come in here and play harder than us.

Alabama A&M will be here expecting to play a basketball game. I know some people might think that because it’s a non-conference game, it might not be as big. But at this stage of the...

You get it to 44-all, I think we got a little too excited. You’re not going to score in transition against Syracuse at their place. I thought we forced the issue. Even when we got...
