26 Quotes by Steve Hawkins

That's been Brian since he's been here. All of the effort areas are always there, regardless of his scoring.

We haven't been shooting the ball well lately. But we got some defensive stops late in the game and I really think that was a big part of it.

We asked him to take on that role.

We competed hard; we just couldn't keep them off the glass. That was the game in a nutshell.

We have a chance to be a good team by the end of the year, ... but we can't wait long on the young kids because we have a tough schedule. I have to be patient.

Brian really emerged as a point guard and gave us a dimension that was different than Rickey.

Besides his scoring and everything, he's constantly shifting the praise to others. He was close to breaking the school scoring record and we'd mention it and he's like: 'Yeah, whatever.' He talks about how well everybody else is playing. You put all that together and he's a dream come true.

At the start of the year, I thought they were the best team in the MAC. They still may be.

Defensively, we've got a little more depth, ... We lost quite a few good players Å  but we're deeper this year. We're still pretty young. The guys who are playing got a lot of playing time last year. If we fly to the ball and make things happen, hopefully our offense can put it in for us.
