Andrew Wilson Quotations

Last year's hurricane season demonstrated the need for mobile satellite systems that could be quickly deployed and satisfy multiple communication needs. These self-contained systems, powered by as little as a car battery, can re-establish communications rapidly without the need for land- based or cell infrastructure in nearly all areas of North America and the rest of the World.

I couldn't have written this any better. This is such an important win for our team and, really, for our program. To go out like this is just incredible.

He'll be the best lead guard in our league next year - hands down. People have something to be excited about when they see him on the court next year.

He's a completely different player now. By far, he's our best offensive player. Al has always been a guy who leads by example. He's never late for a meeting, never late for a practice.

He's a very good shooter, and he can also get to the basket. He's got a real quick first step.

His skill level has improved a ton from last year. He's always been able to go by people. Now, he's added so much more to his game. It's to the point where we feel if we can get him isolated (one on one against defender), he's unstoppable.

It certainly can't hurt, knowing that we have won there in the recent past. It's a tough place to play, though.

I think we really found out a lot about ourselves. We understand we still haven't done anything yet. But this game was important in building momentum for the storm we're going to face.

I think we've covered a lot of ground. We're trying to get everything going in America.

I think it's tough for the young guys to really understand what the NIT is all about because nobody really grows up watching the NIT. Unless you've been there and played in it, it's hard to have a feel for how intense it is.

I was just trying to go out there and provide that spark. That's what I worked on all summer. It's a deal where I'm feeling more confident. I've always been known as a defensive player, but I think I'm showing I can give the team confidence with my shooting.

Just because you weren't alive during that period doesn't mean that you can't go back and love it. We all love the same bands ? The Clash, Public Image, The Police, Minor Threat and Joy Division. We missed out on that golden era, but we love what was recorded then.

It felt good. This was a must-win for us in order to keep our tournament dreams alive.

We were very inconsistent on the court and off the court,

There have been some questions marks in the British coverage about how damaging, how poisonous this pre-trial publicity will be. And the people in Britain now are very interested to see whether Entwistle is looking at a fair trial or something along the lines of a long, slow lynching in the state of Massachusetts.

We didn't feel like they could match our intensity.

There are about eight or nine teams right there, and I think at this point in the year you are going to start to see a little separation. ... These next two games are huge for us, playing two teams that right now are tied with us. We've got a chance to separate ourselves from the middle of the pack.

Two great wing players. That's the nucleus and core of their team.

We've been known in the past to not be the most patient team in the world. And if you're not patient against those guys, they're going to cut you up and kill you.

We wanted to show Al we are his second family. He was on a heavy heart and we want to be here for each other when something like this happens.

To start, whenever a wife and child are killed with a weapon, that's really something of a story.

Those two possessions were huge. Even though they scored, it seemed to settle us down. Last year, I don't think we would have held them off.

This was the best half-court offense we've ever executed since I've been here. I think we really grew up a lot in that category. We had a game plan and we actually stuck to it.

This was the best half-court offense we've ever executed since I've been here.

This was a big test for us. We really put a lot of emphasis on this game that can jump-start our way into the ACC.

The one thing with them that you know they're always going to do is play great defense. In the past, we've struggled in the half-court to be able to score. I think that's an area we've grown up a lot in this year.

We feel like we still have some work to do to get into the tournament, and we have a huge opportunity in front of us to show the committee that we're worthy of getting in.

To be honest with you, it seems like everybody's aware of what's going on in the games. People are excited about it, but for whatever reason it's not filled up come game time.

We are still looking for the missing piece. We know significantly more now than we did in August 2003,

There's only two teams at the end of the year that get to win their last game and cut some nets down. We still have an opportunity to do that. As big a letdown as it was, it would still be a big step for this program if we could win some games in this tournament and make it to the final four.

These next few games are huge for us. We're playing two teams at home that are tied with us. We've got a chance to kind of separate ourselves from the middle of the pack.

(The shot) felt good. I felt like as the game was going on, one of us seniors was going to have to step up. The fact that they beat us on two last second shots last year makes it big and the fact that we had to win this game.

This is going to be the biggest game I've ever played in. By far.

This isn't really a project that you go to big corporations on because this is so NKU and so much a part of our alumni.

This is a dream come true. To beat the No. 1 team in the country in my last game in Tallahassee is something special.

They're the best 3-10 team you're going to see in any league out there. And besides that, we've got too much at stake.

There really was no other option back home. We could have gone to university to study or get jobs. Neither of those options appealed to us. Music is something that we love to do. It's what we're passionate about.

It probably took a little while. But going to Florida early in the year and playing them close, we felt at that point if we could play with a top-10 team on the road we could play with anybody.

It means everything. It's what I've been working for for six years. It's what this team wants. It's what this program needs.

These past two games we've really stepped it up a lot. I think that's the reason we've had two double-digit wins.

I knew the post players weren't going to come out and press up on me. I was able to get a good look, and I made it.

I'm not sure if this puts us in, but it certainly helps our chances and takes us a step closer to getting there.

If you dig yourself too big of a hole in this league, it's too hard to get out. This was big for the psyche of this team to get a win. Once you start losing and that ball starts rolling, it's tough to change direction.

If your wife and child have been murdered and you don't go to the funeral, then there's more to this story, and I think from that moment on both here, the sort of coverage you were seeing, and the sort of coverage you were seeing in England, were simultaneously changing around.

He's the best player in the country. He's the best player I've had to defend. He's one of those guys you know where he's going to be, but you cant stop him, he's that good.

He's ridiculous right now. He's the best player in college basketball right now. All you can do is make him work hard for the baskets he gets - because he's going to get them.

I can see it developing, especially with so much riding.

This is a great feeling. We've been climbing that mountain. Tonight, we made it to the top.
