  • Reggie brings the physical toughness that we need. He's getting better game-by-game.
  • Amir is getting better every game too. He needs to be more aggressive, though.
  • I can't even say how much more confident I am with my shot. My confidence is too high right now.
Reggie Lynch
  • Didn't realize the scoring run was that big until after the game. Just playing loose and put a big emphasis on stopping the three.
  • In the first half, we were a little timid with our offense, but in the second half we were playing more free and it clearly looked.
  • "I scored 14 points in 16 minutes? Fouls, man." Have to work on limiting fouls.
  • "This team is extremely fun to play with."

  • About as happy as I've been in a long time, but that's not saying much.
  • A lot of fun to see these guys taste success.
  • We've been preparing for this team for about two weeks, even though the guys didn't know. That's how much respect I have for the team.
  • Still have a ways to go but it's pretty evident that this is not last year's team.
  • Hervey wasn't quite there.
  • We got to the foul line 40 times, that's got to be our identity because we've struggled from deep lately.
  • Amir and Reggie set the tone in the second half.
  • The smaller lineup was very helpful from a defensive standpoint.
  • I was extremely scared going into this game. With five starters back and talented players who have won on the road against high-major teams. "About as nervous as I've been to be quite honest with you."
  • Best they've rebounded. Outrebounded UT-Arlington 47-32 and UTA is one of the best rebounding teams in the country. Totally changes the dynamic rebounding wise when you have so many bigs who can all rebound.
  • "I am extremely proud of these guys. That was a really, really good win."
