Bobby Jones Great Quotations

When I have started him, he hasn't played as well. I guess he just needs to watch for a few minutes before he goes in. That seems to work. We are still finding out what works, but this team is giving me great effort.

Give Robert Morris a lot of credit. I thought they played like a team desperate to get that fourth seed and the home game. They showed great focus and determination to win this basketball game.

You look at their roster on paper, and it's like we have no chance. But they don't play 40 straight minutes of great basketball, so we know we have a chance to make some runs and keep ourselves in the game.

To their credit, they've given us a great effort. They were recruited to be role players for at least a year -- maybe two -- but now they're role players playing starter minutes. They need help. And help is on the way.

It would help both programs to get more television exposure. We have such great fan support, and we and Robert Morris have had some pretty exciting TV games.

It takes a special team to win on the road. It takes great guard play to win on the road. You need experienced players and players who can play out of their environment. Look at some of the top teams in the country. Take Pitt for example, which lost to Marquette on the road (Saturday). It is not easy in college basketball to win on the road anywhere. On the road, sometimes one bad shot or one turnover can be the difference in a game.
