Marcel Jones Quotations

Wes has always been a competitor. He's had a couple setbacks with his career. I knew Wes could play. It was a matter of getting him in shape and on the court. He runs the team well. People feed off his energy and natural leadership ability.

I think we're a different type of team with (Washington). Not taking anything from Lamar and Jason ... I just think we run more.

I think it was just the flow of the game and players felt like they could score and make the jump shots. But it wasn't working and maybe we should've probably got the ball down low.

I think it was good. I felt his energy. It was positive energy. We need Jason's help, like we need everybody else's help. I'm just glad for him to be back, and now we can move forward. It's behind us.

My brothers and I, we got with an agent and for three or four years there we did a lot of acting and I did a little modeling in there. It was just something fun to do. As a youngster, you always have dreams of being on the big screen.

We have a lot of good things going. We have good shooters. We have to listen to the coaching staff to get better and we have four good freshmen coming in. Next year is going to be better. Next year is going to be fun. Hopefully, we won't have that many injuries.

The problem is we play our best basketball when we get our backs against the wall. We didn't have our focus and energy coming out the second half.

As long as he can carry us, I'll jump on for the ride. We don't have a superstar on the team right now, but he's definitely stepped up and making it hard for defenses. He's a big-time player. He wants the ball down the stretch.

It seems the problem with us. We didn't come out with our focus or our energy.

It was the flow of the game. Players thought they could score and make jump shots. But it wasn't working. We should have gotten the ball down low. We'll look at tape and see what went wrong and make adjustments from there.

It means a whole lot when we look in the mirror every day. I don't know why it's happening. We just have to execute when we need to.

It was a good shot. He just missed.

I didn't know he could do this before. In high school and the beginning of his college career he was a scorer. But I'm sure he's taking full advantage of having the ball in his hands now.
