Justin Dentmon Quotations

Man, I got scared real quick when I heard the news. I've never been in a situation like this before.

She wore No. 14, and I relate my number to her, because one plus four is five.

I was recruited very heavily by Illinois, so it was really weird, because a lot of those guys I know or I've played against.

I don't think I touched him, but the refs were too involved in the game so they had to call something. He fell, so they had to blow the whistle.

He was always the better shooter on that team. I was the better defender. That part's still true.

My plan was just to run past him. My hand just got caught into his and I fouled him. ... It was just a dumb foul. Just a mental mistake.

I think people underestimate his jump shot, and he can drive. He?s a nightmare for any team.

I think he's being more of a leader and showing everyone that he can lead this team.

I'm still learning. I'm taking baby steps toward trying to become the player I want to be.

We didn't care about (winning the Pac-10). We just wanted to win here.

We started to step up our play after the loss. We don't want to feel like that anymore so we just tried to step our game up.

We focused on taking some anger out on this team. Letting everyone know that we ain't got our heads down. We've still got our heads up high.

I've never seen so much red in my life.

Sometimes the referees get caught up in the game and don't blow their whistle.

There was no acting, but I just like to yell to get the referee's attention so they don't miss the call. That's what I did.

They have some real good athletes, but when they came here it didn't seem like they wanted the game, and we took that as a weakness; they didn't attack. But everybody's better at home.

It's just another step to be where we want to be. They're in our way.

That steal was a gift from God. He just gave it to me and I ran with it.

It's important for us to remember what got us to this point. And that's our work ethic and our willingness to share the ball.

It was hard because you have to play tentative when you have four fouls because you don't want to get your fifth. They can be more aggressive then, because you have to be careful. They took advantage of that.

It was a dumb foul. I thought I got him after the buzzer, but the camera showed I didn't. It was a mental mistake.

There was a lot weird about us playing them. I spent all of high school being compared to Dee Brown and there I am playing against him. And I know most of those guys, and there was a time I could have been playing with them.

I'd rather play Southern Illinois. I know everybody on that team.

I call it a nightmare in the past. Really, I ain't got nothing to prove.
