Kenny Smith Played Quotations

I think we're there; I think we're ready to go. The kids played hard, and these first games are tough, so we'll just get ready for the next one.

We played a good team tonight, and they exposed a weakness of ours that was not being able to take care of the ball. That's why we scheduled these guys. It will make us better.

We kind of flip-flopped the way I thought it would be. We played methodical, error-free football in the opener against Cabot when I would expect us to make mistakes. Last week, we made a lot of mental mistakes and had missed blocking assignments.

We were one game away from being in the final four. I thought our kids played with intensity and heart, and they never gave up.

. . . Grandfathers all the way down to grandchildren are watching this tournament together. Some of those grandfathers played in it, and it's a great tradition.
