27 Quotes by Jeff Lebo

We're small. We have to play aggressively. We can't back off because we're too little. We don't play the brightest by any stretch of the imagination. We just make some plays. If I had any hair, it would be out. We foul way too much. All of that has to do with us being small. We really have to play that way, but we have to be smarter.

Mississippi State dominated us on the glass in our first game. They're coming in after a big win. (Sophomore forward Charles) Rhodes is a terrific player. He's so much stronger than our inside guys right now.

(Freshmen) all think they are going to come in and set the world on fire and go to the Final Four. When reality sets in to them a little bit, they can be a little discouraged. It's up to us to try to get them back. It's just a hard thing when you are going through it.

He's got to step up his game, as a senior, in conference play.

He has to be able to score for us some. We can't play 2-on-5. It's hard when you can't score from every position. He's an unselfish player, but sometimes being unselfish can be selfish.

I thought we looked very fatigued against Mississippi State and kind of hit the wall.

I thought Moses and Brett were terrific. They're guys who haven't played much, but they gave us some execution and energy and got us back in the game.

That was not a PG-rated halftime. I thought in the second half we had a lot more energy. The first half was horrendous. One thing I did tell them is they couldn't have beaten a bad JV team in the first half.

We need to have him score for us. We struggle to put the ball in the basket. He's got to be very aggressive on the offensive end, which he was tonight.
