Jamey Collins Quotations

Mike has played great. One thing we noticed in practice is his competitiveness. He's not afraid to go in and battle for rebounds. He's picked things up quickly.

Obviously, he's smart at a lot of things, but he was always able to come up with a few ways we could attack a team and exploit our offense. Once we got some continuity and a stable lineup late in the season, he was tremendous. He was a great asset for our program.

Our guys are just doing a good job finding Scott and putting him in positions to make open shots.

Robby made a huge play and we needed it. He's really picked up his game defensively and offensively.

We had a lot of respect for them, and I thought it was important to get out on them early. Guys hit their open shots. Our guys moved defensively pretty well.

We were worried about what to do defensively. We knew they had good players. Up until the opening tip, we were not sure what we were going to do. But with a few exceptions, we found their shooters real well and hit the boards well.

We've just been trying to plug holes and it's tough. There's no continuity right now, but there are still things we can do to help ourselves. We can rebound; we can work hard.

This was another rivalry game. We have quite a few left on our schedule. I'm real happy our guys came out and played the way they wanted to play.

They're our old nemesis. We don't look for them, but they always seem to be there.

The guys that we have been putting in have been playing hard. We have had to improvise a lot with lineups with our guys out. But these guys responded pretty well (against Jerome).

The guys came out and played hard from the opening tip. You never know how guys are going to respond in a different atmosphere, but we came out and played well.
