  • That's as good of a response as we could have hoped for from Tuesday.
  • Amir, Nate, and Dupree distributed the ball really well and got us open looks. We rebounded poorly last game and really stepped it up tonight.
  • Our offense at the beginning of the game provided a spark and towards the end of the game, our stops got us the win. I always tell our guys "defend, rebound, and run"
  • I thought Dupree played really well. He's playing with great confidence and effort.
  • I always tell Nate to look at himself as one of the better guards in the league.
  • Bakary's given us really valuable minutes. If he didn't play through the tough times last year, he wouldn't have been ready to really help us this year.
  • Unselfishness led to the scoring output from the backcourt, giving up a good shot to get a great shot.
  • Always tell kids every minute and possession is one where you can improve. We never
  • I thought it was a great crowd. We obsess over fan support and that narrative, but I thought that was a great crowd. I saw that volleyball won, so that's awesome. We're not just a basketball school, we're kind of an everything school. It's great the support we have.
  • Nice to get the bench in. They're all working hard in practice so it's nice to be able to reward them.
  • I'm proud of Gas. He's worked his butt off and is a tremendous teammate. This team is a great group to be around.
Nate Mason
  • This was a good response to the lack of effort from the previous game.
  • Fans have been great. It's a boost for us.
  • Coach sat us down after the last game and said we disrespected each other for not playing hard. We had a team meeting and came out and practiced hard the next day.

Dupree McBrayer
  • Nate set the tone with making shots and then everyone kind of got going.
  • "I get confidence from New York, play with swagger."
