Kammron Taylor Quotations

I know guys are starting to feel more confident. This whole week has definitely been a confidence booster, especially for the young guys.

I know I'm up for the challenge because that (NCAA) game was one I'll never forget. I saw how our guys were acting in the locker room after losing the last game of the season. I don't want to feel like that. I hate that feeling. I know the game is going to be very intense.

The shots just weren't falling, that's pretty much it.

We know he's doing that on purpose but people who don't know basketball, they're like, 'What is he doing? But that's something he's been doing all his life because he's been playing down in the post a lot and he has had to be able to get his shot over bigger guys. He gets my vote for player of the year.

When the threes aren't falling, you have to find other things to help you get points. I think we need to do a better job of getting to the free-throw line.

My performance wasn't good enough to help the team win.

I can't name anybody else in the conference who I've seen get quadruple-teamed at one time and still score 22 points. That says a lot for a 6-6 player who gets most of his points in the paint.

Tanner has a big heart even though he's a little guy. And he comes to practice every day ready to play. The stuff he lacks in athleticism he has in smarts, the way he plays the game. It just shows if you work hard, good things will happen for you because now his schooling is for free.

Coach was trying to throw different stuff at them. When they were in the zone, he wanted me to work the wing. If they had gone man I would have gone back to the (point), but being in the zone he wanted a shooter on the other side. It was something new that he put in.

I was trying to force the issue too much.
