Doug Wojcik Quotations

I thought Rodney Carney stepped up really big when he had to. The 3 he hit towards the end of the first half, and the 3 when it was a two-point game late in the second half, hurt us.

To go up like we did, we would have liked to have gained energy and put them away, and we just didn't.

I think Morris Almond is a Big Ten player, an ACC player. He is the best in our league as far as a triple threat goes.

Memphis really does dribble-drive well. We ended up switching four positions at the end of the game. We fought hard all game, but in the end Memphis had too much firepower.

I think sometimes you really have to go through tough times to appreciate the good times.

We played very well tonight and really competed against Memphis. I am very proud of our team. I thought (Rodney) Carney stepped up really big when he had to. He is the potential C-USA Player of the Year candidate, and he showed why.

As a team, we play defense well and our kids listen. Memphis did a poor job at the free throw line (26-of-41) and that really kept us in the game.

Strength and weight are a little bit of an issue right now but the willingness to learn, the willingness to work and the intelligence to pick things up all are in his favor.

Southern Miss was very resilient (Wednesday). ... They just gutted it out.

Southern Miss and Tulsa, there's two teams that have the toughest time scoring points. But I think it's going to be a very evenly matched game. They're dangerous.
