95 Quotes by Tubby Smith

Joe has probably been our most consistent player on both ends of the court. When you look at his offense, his defense, all of the little things he does on the court, his willingness to take the big shot, he's become a pretty versatile player, and that's what we expected out of him.

Joe Crawford was outstanding, getting to the free throw line and attacking the basket and making his shots.

I think you gotta play your style. We got up and down the court pretty good the other night. But you gotta continue to defend at the other end. That's the biggest concern I have.

I thought tonight we were the best we've been in a while.

Just getting here is not what we're about. We're about advancing. It's a new season and everybody has that rejuvenation. We can prove to ourselves that we're better than we played this season.

I'm not absolutely convinced of nothing. I have no comment about it. How can I comment about that? I just hope we get the opportunity. I believe we will.
