Paul Brooks Quotations

What a great game by Rick. It didn't show in the scorebook but he played a great game for us. He does so many things for us and he is a 48-percent 3-point shooter. He was due.

We thought they'd play us man on the last possession. We set up a play for a man defense and they didn't play it. It was like a chess match and (Scott) beat me.

That really could hurt us inside during games against bigger, physical teams. But Casey Clark played a lot of minutes and we feel good about having him in the lineup. But we do lose size inside.

I don't think that a judge in one state is going to be able to tell everybody in all other states what to do. So I don't get too excited about what he said.

We have a baseball-rich tradition in the community and have a pretty good group of players out.

They baffled us. We try to simulate the zone in practice, but I guess we can't do it as well as they can.

They were doing a lot to keep him from getting the ball. They did a good job, but we still had a chance to tie.

This tournament is wide open. Who knows who is going to win? Everybody has beaten everybody. It will be the team that can play their best for three straight games.

That sounds like minutiae, ... But when we're dealing in seconds, every little thing like that helps. Every second is important to us.

That's the guy you want to take the shot. He's our go-to player and he made a huge play right there.
