(Lewis) wants to win so bad. He felt like he had to take over the game himself. But the reason we were here is that we've been much more balanced offensively lately.

I think we have some good, solid talent on this football team. I think we lost five games by three points or less last year. So it's not that this place is depleted of talent. That's not the case at all. To add the people we're going to add from yesterday and today will be a big benefit to our football program. ... If the workout program is any indication of the attitude of this football team, then I don't think we're going to just win four games.

I won't be running up and down the sidelines too much but I will be enthusiastic as all get-out. Officials will know I'm there. I'm as spry as anybody can be half my age. I've been reborn.

You kind of pick your poison with those guys. Their guards make the big guys stand out. That kid Moore is a great point guard. He knows when to shoot, and he knows when to get it to the big men. He's the key to the whole thing.

We have to win games in this portion of the tournament. You don't want to go into the states having lost three in a row. I told the kids that Saturday's pretty important for us.

Tyrone was great. He's awesome. I wish we had five of him. Even two of him.

We can't shoot, we missed shots. We just struggle from the field.

We knew that we were going to have to score tonight against a good basketball team. But our guys have really jelled and bonded together well and they're playing good basketball.

We kept telling Aubrey that he was going to have to find a spot in the box-and-one, and he did a great job for us.

There are just some times when a team gets all the calls and you don't get any where you wonder about it.

First and foremost, this kid is tough. He has blocked kicks. He has covered kicks. He has made tackles. He returns balls. He is reckless. He is a north-south runner and he finishes that way all the time. He breaks tackles. He fields the ball well and takes chances.

Everything he does he deserves. He went out and got the recognition and he worked to get noticed. I told him to enjoy every second of being recruited, because it will be the only time you get wined and dined.

Our defense got a little loose and we tightened things up the last couple days at practice. It was a nice defensive effort. It was a team effort. Nice balance on offense and good defense.

Aubrey really set the tone for everybody here. And we're playing really well as a unit right now.

It was a remarkable individual performance. Just wish it was in a win.

It's great we have played tough teams, but we have to win games.

I don't think any of us thought that he wouldn't get it, but it was nice that it happened this way. What makes it better is not that he's a good player, but he's an even better person. He's just a great kid.

He brings an awful lot of good, positive things to the table. We are very enthusiastic about him coming here and being the guy.
