Jerry Wainwright Quotations

We've been beaten this year, but I didn't think we lost any of those games, but we lost today. It was important for us to get off to a good start today but we didn't do it.

The key to the game for us was our ability to pass the basketball. We moved it better than we have in a long time.

Dan Fitzgerald had a great game and was responsible for the spread and the spread stayed the same from the first to second half.

I think it was a really bad fall and he was walking on it gingerly. I didn't think it was worth risking at all at this point of the season and this point of his career. It was a tough injury. He's been playing really well for us.

They're a team of basketball players. They're not a team of positions. But they create problems you're not going to see the rest of the year.
