Jim Crews Quotations

Obviously we didn't execute what we needed to execute to get that done. We did the cardinal mistake on that one. That's my fault.

I thought we played well defensively. We made things tough.

You have to be lucky. I mean, we were lucky. You gotta be good. But you gotta be lucky.

No question about it. Everything we accomplished in '76, the '75 team set the foundation for.

Defensively, we were pretty sound for a while. But they broke us down. That?s where Pat does such a good job, with so many (offensive) options within a possession.

They switch some, they play a little zone, they play man. They look different all the time. That presents problems.

They really took it to us. They are a very quick-hitting team. They do a terrific job running a full-court offense. ... We had a heck of a time defending it. They kept us on the move faster than we could do our fundamentals.

It's always a great rivalry game with Army-Navy and I think our guys showed a lot of heart on the road today. They showed a lot of different defenses and I think our guys did a good job executing.

That's a great accomplishment. League play is tough. You have to play every team twice. That's a great tribute to the players and coaches.

I like what our guys have done, what they're doing and what they're headed for. I feel good about them.

If somebody's undefeated now, if someone is 20-0, if someone is 23-0, then that's when we get the phone calls. Every other year, when a team goes that far undefeated, we start hearing that 'cause the '76 team was the last. I guess that generates some conversation.

These kids have been resilient. They have had great purpose. They have been ready to play.
