Willis Wilson Quotations

Chris is an excellent point guard who plays with toughness. He is an great passer and more importantly he possesses great decision-making skills on the court.

I think the transition looks made all the difference in the world. We were able to turn up our defensive intensity, we were able to rebound the ball a little bit better, and we were able to get a lot of looks in transition. I think that got SMU back on their heels.

That's usually what we do. One big inning, then a little here, a little there. I'd like to be more consistent.

We played great in one game and then lost our focus in the other.

Anybody can have a bad day. It's just too bad it was today. We had been hitting the ball really well. We don't have a lot of speed, so we have to get base hits. We hit a lot of deep balls, just not deep enough.

This is not a team that we've had the luxury to look ahead a lot this year. We've been doing so much of trying to learn how to function in the here and now that it really becomes challenging to look ahead. When you look ahead too far, it becomes a distraction.

The NCAA men's basketball Division I has grown to 330 schools. That's a lot of schools from the time the field grew to 64 -- it's increased by one. From that same period, Division I basketball has grown significantly.

I'm going to have 10 pork roasts rotating on a rotisserie grill, and we're going to serve it with dressing and baked beans. We also have five football pools and $1 beer.

I'm just trying to manage what a lot of people have put a lot of effort, heart and money in.

If he comes back, we've got a chance to be really good -- as good as we've ever been. If he doesn't come back, it's a whole different ball game.

These girls are rivals and you can see how excited (the Knights) are. They have really gotten better since last time we played them when it got rained out.

The difference tonight, in my opinion, is that we played with a lot more aggression in the last three minutes of overtime. We played with a lot more spirit during that period. That, as much as anything, is what our guys have to learn.
