Quin Snyder Team Quotations

We've gotten some highs this season, and this was a low. We get a chance to play this team again.

Obviously, we had a very small margin for error against a team of Illinois' caliber. They showed us how good they are.

There certainly is frustration. As a coach I want my team to play better and I know I'm responsible for that. But until that question poses itself, I'm going to say my party line: It's not about me, it's about our team and trying to win games.

We get a chance to play this team again. Hopefully we can do more than just bounce back.

In our profession, Bruce Weber is one of the best guys around. He's done a great job of molding their team. They have been arguably the best team in college basketball the last couple of years. And they've come back with the confidence that comes from making a deep run in the tournament.

No matter how difficult it might be, there's a lot of character in that locker room. I've seen teams climb out of holes and there's no one in that locker room that is turning their back.

Every team has a limited life and days like today, you can feel like that life has just ended. The fact of the matter is it didn't. There's more games for us to play. For me as a coach, I've got to figure out how to help my kids get better.

I thought Oklahoma State was terrific. They showed the type of character that their team has, their coach has and their program has. This was not an easy game for anybody.
