15 Quotes by Jeremy Cox

I was really proud of my kids. We had great poise from our guard play. And these two guys (Brooks and Weems) are just warriors.

I credit the officials. They did a really good job of calling fouls in the post and cleaning it up right away down there. Obviously, whenever you go to a zone, it limits inside play and dares them to shoot outside.

Our sophomores understand where there are. We're in good shape physically. Mentally, I think we're fine. We just have to go out and play and see where the chips may fall.

That's the way our basketball team needs to play. That's the style we've chosen to play. We're not as fast maybe as we've been in the past, but when you've got big guys, that's the way it works.

We did what we were supposed to do. We got the lead and got it up to 19, and then we just kind of put it on cruise control. We did that both halves. We've got to have a killer instinct.

We had 29 wins last year and 30 this year, and if somebody asked what the difference was I'd say Bruce Carter. He makes us better. He's unselfish, and he lets Weems step to the spotlight and let's Passos step to the spotlight a lot. Carter just does what he had to do.

We made a couple of 3-point shots that were key. We shot a little less than 40 percent from the 3-point line, and that's always good for us.

Defensively, we were disruptive also. Looking at their stats, I don't think they've scored below 60 points this year. In fact, I think they only scored below 80 once. So to hold their basketball team to under 60 points tonight was great. We forced them into long shots and long turnovers, and we got run outs.

Defensively, we're just so much better. We held them to 50 points ? the second team in a row we've held to 50 points.
