Al Skinner Quotations

Right from the very beginning it was clear that Virginia wanted the game. We did not at all meet their energy. I thought the game was physical and we did not respond to that.

He got open looks and he can score.

He draws a lot of attention and makes good decisions. He's a senior, so we're going to try to get the ball in his hands as much as we can.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to worry about that now. We're not going to get any extra consideration because of it.

I'm happy for him, and it's an indication of the success that he's had, but there are a lot more points that he needs to score if we're going to have a big year.

That's the stuff that makes me look good. The guys came out focused.

We're still trying to get our heads above water here. We're not at that point yet. I don't look at us as a Top 25 team. We've got to get some more wins before we can entertain that.

Tim had to calm me down to put things in perspective with how far we had come that we were in that situation.

We knew it was going to be a tough evening. We just didn't think it was going to be like this.

Once we get a couple of nights' rest, we'll be fine.

I just think Virginia wanted it much more than we did. We did not at all meet their energy.
