Marcus Williams Good Quotations

We need to take advantage of these games and continue to win. They might be a little dinged up, but they are still a really good team. We can't have any slip-ups.

It was good to have him back. I'm happy for him. That's a good player, man. You can bring good players around here all the time. That's my mentality. That's a defensive specialist. I have never seen anybody move feet like that.

I think some people need rest. We've got a couple people with injuries. I have a sore heel. Hilton (Armstrong) has a sore ankle. And a couple of us are tired from playing the tough games we had late in the year. I think it'll be good for us.

We attacked the ball, and things happened good for us and bad for them. We made a statement that we're ready to go.

We need to make sure we focus. A good team like Syracuse, I think they can capitalize a lot better than Indiana can. We need to keep them off the offensive glass, they're capable of having a big game.

I think so. When we come out clicking and we're all on the same page, we're a pretty good team.

Kirk came in and was great on the boards. He made shots. He was a good sixth man off the bench. He definitely helped me out (being in foul trouble).

These were tough teams, talented teams with good players.

I don't think we were hurting with (Rodgers). He wasn't a poison to us. We like having that one-man press, creating that havoc. That's what we need. It's going to be good for him to jump on Hernandez on Sunday.

Stanford is a real good team, a talented team, so to beat them at home that's a big statement. That tells you how well our team played. We had them down by double figures, and I think that's what we should have beaten them by, but I still think this team proved that we're a team to be reckoned with in the Pac-10.

He's a good leader, but people go about things in different ways. It depends on what's more effective. Some people are more vocal.

If he gets the ball, he's going to do something good with it. If Hilton was on another team, he could average 15 or 16 points easy. We get on him to shoot more than he does.

That was a big road trip getting off to a good start and (winning) against a really talented team.

They're really good at running their stuff and getting open shots, so we really just need to get up in them and force them to be really athletic and make sure they can't run their plays the way they want.

He just really taught us to play together. At the beginning, when we were losing a lot, we just weren't playing together. And now we're just playing together, playing good defense, and kicking people's butt -- and that's what we came to do.

I don't know why he doesn't do that all the time. He's probably one of the best ball-handlers on the team. He makes good decisions. He can create his own shot. When he does things like that, he helps me catch my breath. He kind of gave me a rest while I was on the court.

The play wasn't designed to go to me, it was just whoever got open. They tripled-teamed me and did a good job of getting their hands on it.

We feel good about ourselves and we're confident, but I don't think we know how good we can be. We showed some flashes (Saturday) and we showed some flashes how bad we can be. So once we know how good we can be, we should be good.

Now before we played Marquette, we felt a little too good and went out there and took it for granted thinking they were going to bow down and let us get the victory. But now, I think we're still focused.

It's good to be home. Maybe we can feed off our crowd's energy.

I felt good about it because I was shooting that bad and Hassan wasn't shooting that great, but we were still up. If we'd been making the shots we normally make, then this would have been a different game. We'd have had it in our hands from the get-go.

We just didn't do a good enough job.

This is what you work for all year, to get a good seed. We're where we want to be.

We showed some flashes tonight. We're confident. Our defense was good at some points and our offense was good at some points and we were bad at some points with both.

I don?t think it?s good at all. Sometimes we play not to lose rather than to win.

They might be a little dinged up, but they're still a good team.
