Jonathon Modica Quotations

I've been thinking about that game ever since before that game was over. I feel I have got something to prove, and I feel the team has the same thing on their mind.

I didn't know they beat Kansas. I didn't even watch the tournament last year until the Final Four. But I've heard of the school. I watched them play on television once. I know they are a good team. I know we are not going to take them lightly just because our name seems to be a little bit bigger. We know they are going to come ready to play just like we are.

It was a game that really motivated to me to get better. I got more aggressive and tried not to let little things hold me back.

It's important to stay poised. It's going to be loud. There's going to be a lot of trash talking. We've got to focus on the game and play the best we can play.

We've got to make him put the ball on the floor.

We were more aggressive and got the ball to the interior.

Hitting free throws is something we have to do to win games. We were kind of upset because we lost the last couple of games by a close margin. We just tried to make sure that didn't happen again.

I thought maybe the defender would grab my arm. He didn't. But coach (Stan) Heath didn't say anything. He knows I'm going to take a bad shot every once in awhile.

We came into a must-win game and I felt like I owed it to my team to step up and have a good performance.

We didn't underestimate them. We knew they moved well without the ball. They didn't surprise us.
