I hope we build on this. If we play with that kind of energy and lose, I can live with that. But we haven’t been playing with that kind of energy.

The big thing is how we react to this. This was our first real setback.

It’s the best time of the year, and these three days can create memories that will last a lifetime. I told them to embrace it and not get nervous about it.

I think it hurts because Brent is our best defender.

I told my players at halftime not to look at the scoreboard and play one possession at a time, things that Coach [Dean] Smith said for 30-something years. And then I screwed up, and I...

We played better, we played harder and took better care of the ball, I thought our effort was pretty good.

I was proud of the way we cut the lead. We could have hung our heads and it could have been a or 25-point loss. It’s not a moral victory, but at this point you...

I was disappointed we lost but pleased we didn’t quit.

I was disappointed the way we played in the first half. We have to play smarter.

He had a minor violation of a team rule so he didn’t start. He handled it great…. I might not start him next game.

The university would have to spend a million dollars for that kind of exposure.

I’m disappointed. We just didn’t perform very well and we couldn’t throw the ball in the ocean. … When you know it’s one game and you’re done, the basket can look a little small.

We’ve got be smarter and hopefully we’ll be smarter when we get into league play.

They don’t know what a great experience they can have in Johnson City. It can be the best three days of their life. They have to be mature enough to digest that and then hopefully...

We did an outstanding job of controlling the ball. Offensively, we moved it around effectively and efficiently against their zone. Defensively, we trapped and got North Florida out their rhythm. That was a great effort...

Quinton wasn’t a great defender.

A team is like a child. First it’s the infant stage then the adolescent stage. I think we’re in the adult stage. Hopefully, we don’t revert back to the adolescence stage.

We are the hunted, and that is a new experience for our guys.

Rodney is a tough kid. He really has a good work ethic and is one of the hardest working players I’ve been around.

Carlos gave us a big lift when the NCAA finally cleared him to play. His rebounding, scoring and ability to pass elevated our team’s play considerably.

He’s the only guy on the team that really commands a double-team. … That says something about a freshman. Now we have to be able to adapt when that occurs to take advantage of the...

I’ve never been more disappointed after a victory than today.

It’s like any divorce. If you see your ex-wife at the grocery store, either she’s going to throw a bunch of eggs at you, or you’re going to have a genuinely enjoyable conversation. To be...

It doesn’t rally concern us, because he didn’t attend Philly Lutheran. Paul had already graduated.

It’s what I learned while playing at North Carolina and coaching. You have to have systems in place that demand excellence and accountability.

The thing about New Orleans is that you step out of your hotel and you feel the energy and see the fans decked out in school colors, … And then of course, after the game...

We really don’t have a true point guard. It’s kind of unfair to put him in that position.

We’re the hunted and that’s a new experience for some of our guys. We’ve got to get better. Teams are going to be gunning for us.

He has gotten better at defense, and his shooting has improved. If any one player won the game for us, it was him.

We had our (big) men helping bring the ball up. So, if we were able to break the press, we had good scorers who were able to stop and shoot on the other end. This...

We just have to be smarter, and hopefully we will be smarter in league play.

It didn’t really occur to me until yesterday, … I was hanging some pictures in my office and there was one of Michael Jordan taking that shot, and I told one of my players how...

Stetson scored 23 points off turnovers. We have to take care of the ball and take good shots. We have to make the easy play because Gordon sits back there like a free safety picking...

I thought the effort was there, but we just weren’t making our shots.

He’s so unselfish. He has really embraced the things we talk about with. He’s worked on taking care of the basketball and playing defense. He’s asked himself to do everything I’ve asked him to do.

I hate to be evasive, but I am just not going to comment.

We have to play the hottest team in the conference and we didn’t play particularly well against them last time. Stetson has as good of a chance as anyone to win this thing. We need...

I look at this as a destination job. I didn’t want to take a job to take another job.

We have to sell our program. The amount of exposure certainly helps. It helps fan interest and recruiting.

I was very disappointed in the first half with the way we played. We were not sharp. Maybe I tried to get them too jacked up. Maybe we were too aggressive. We didn’t execute well.

He’ll definitely be a part of our team. He’s a quick-as-lightning point guard who can pass and shoot. He’s also got a great feel for the game.

In a way it’s kind of nice. I can go to the mall with my wife and not be recognized.

(Harris) may be one of the quickest players I have coached. He’s a natural leader.

We are excited to have David join our program, … He is a fine young man who represents al that we look for in a student athlete at FAU. As a player, he gives us...

He really pushes the basketball and gets into gaps. No one person can guard him. It has to be a team effort.

They have to embrace the excitement. These three days can create memories that last a lifetime.

We couldn’t throw the ball in the ocean. We got decent looks, we just couldn’t make a basket.

They both have improved a lot. Paul has a real knack for driving to the basket, and his passing was evident last night.

We didn’t play hard for the first five minutes of the second half. For whatever reason, that happens.
