Bobby Jones Win Quotations

Lets collide and get it over with. We've had our list of streaks to break and been checking them off. This is our improvised list. Everybody knows what it takes. We're playing the team expected to win the national championship. Either you bring it or you don't.

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.

We know if we win out we would be in good shape. As long as we do our part, we could win the conference championship instead of finishing second.

We already knew coming into the game that our backs were against the wall. I mean, we were 1-2 in conference. You don't want to start off conference play slow, then put yourself in a corner and force yourself to win five or six in a row. So it was a huge game.

It was a huge statement for us. Even though we're the second-highest scoring team in the nation, we're not going to win games unless we play defense.

They said George likes to go to sleep at 8. If we win four more games, we can make an appointment to see him and take some photos.

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.

I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason, and maybe somebody didn't want us to win that game. It was a tough loss, possibly the toughest since I've been here.

You can't really be too mad. I mean, you can look back at those early losses. But you know what? Those made us focused to win these eight straight.

All I know is, if we win out and UCLA loses, we all end up tied for first. No matter what, we've still got to win our two games.
