Rich McBride Quotations

We have no one to blame but ourselves. Now is the only time to prove ourselves. Otherwise, we'll go home.

My teammates did a great job of screening for me, and our point guard (Brown) did a great job of seeing the floor. I'm not too worried about myself. I'm just worried about doing the little things that can help us win.

I look at (Dee) as a mentor. He told me when people start running at me, I have to do shot fakes. Once you knock down one or two I just got it going.

I look at Dee as a mentor. He's told me when people run at me I have to do shot fakes. That's what I tried today. Once you knock one or two down, you start feeling pretty good about yourself.

I look at Dee as a mentor. He has been telling me when people start running at me I have to utilize the shot fake. Once you knock one or two down you start feeling pretty good about yourself. I just got it going. I'm trying to take the pressure off Dee and James and be a factor out there.

He told us ... we were going to have to hang our hats on defense and the offense was going to struggle from time to time. He was right. So we've just been trying to compete on defense as hard as we can.

He called me one night and told me to come outside, that he'd come and get me. We came to the gym for two hours. It was out of nowhere.

He called me one night and told me to come outside and he'd come and get me and we went to the gym. It was out of nowhere, and we were at the gym for two hours. I'm glad he feels that way about me.
