Steve Smith Team Quotations

Seattle is a very admirable team. They're very experienced. Everything that team did today was superb.

One week you're playing, and the next one team is cleaning out lockers and going home.

I thought they were the best team in our league at the end of the season. I would have picked them to win the league this year. I thought about it. But I didn't want to do that to them, to Tim. So I picked them second. Being at Baylor, I wanted to put the onus on Texas, right?

Without a doubt, there was no question which tournament we'd be at this year. We've got a great team this year, and we're looking forward to showcasing it at the best, most competitive holiday event in the country.

You know what? We're the only team in our division in the playoffs now. That should tell you something.

We have a very strong team and we'll do just fine this year.

Everything that team did today was superb. They overall just flat-out beat us.

Some people think I'm getting upset when I'm not getting the ball. I get upset when we're not moving the ball, when we're not operating as an efficient unit as an offense. This is a team effort and whenever a team is not moving the ball they way we like to, everybody's frustrated.

In the second half, I thought our press bothered them a lot and we got some easy baskets and that made the difference. We got them in some traps where we didn't get them trapped in the first half. When we trap guys -- we have pretty good size for a high school team -- that causes problems.

He actually dismissed the whole team and he showed us he wasn't playing. We haven't had a problem since.
