John Brady Guard Quotations

Darrel's been very good at getting shots in transition. When he gets it on an outlet pass, he is so fast. He can make a three on the dead sprint or if you go out on him, he'll go right by you and take it to the hole. I would hate to have to guard Darrel Mitchell, especially the way he was playing in the first half.

I think Kentucky's where it is because of its backcourt. Alabama's where it is because of its point guard. I think I'm where I am because I don't have a point guard who's proven that he can make consistent decisions throughout the season.

Their two guards could start for anybody in our league. We're going to have to do a very good job of making our team concerned with where they are, what set they're in, who is setting the screen and what we're going to do to disrupt them, because the other three players really rely on those two guards playing well.

I think the ability of Felix to guard Darrel Mitchell as he did -- a bigger guy, a physical guy on Darrel -- we never really got ourselves in a rhythm on offense. It seemed like to me we were always struggling on offense. For the most part, our execution wasn't where it needed to be.

It looked like Vanderbilt, they weren't going to come out and guard our posts. They were going to back off. Glen made a couple and really kind of opened it up.

We've got to have a good team defensive effort on him. It will be about how we handle him coming off screens without the ball and how we handle him when he comes off screens with the ball. There'll be a couple of different ways that we'll try to guard him, and we'll see which one works the best as the game progresses and adjust as we go.

They're a guard-oriented, perimeter-oriented team. Any time you have good guard play in college basketball, you have a chance to win some games. That's our major concern right now.

I don't think there is a player that has been more consistent and has also been asked to play the point guard position, which he has never played. That is significant.

He's a special player. I call him the silent assassin, because he never says a word. But he'll get you. He's just as consistent a person as I've been around. He's blossomed at point guard after struggling early. He's embraced that roll. He almost didn't miss a shot tonight.
