Quotes by Joe Cravens

I kept looking for a combination that would work. I was looking for five players who would score and stay in front of ball on defense. I couldn't find it.

That's a team that went on the road and beat Arizona State and beat us bad down there and I'm happy with the win. I can criticize us after every win but at the end of the day that's a good win for us.


They played tonight like the team picked to win the league. All of our guys looked like the deer in the headlights.

We control our destiny as far as getting into the conference tournament. We played with a lot of toughness (on the last road trip) and came back strong.

When the game was close we didn't have enough patience. Everyone wanted to hit one out of the park.

We're letting guys who play like they want to be out there play right now. So far, that's working pretty well for us.

We aren't at the point yet where we have figured out that when things are going well for us we need to stay with that. I think that we get kind of bored, like things are getting easy, so let's try something on our own.

That was too little too late. Nick also, in the first five minutes, let a freshman point guard beat him to the basket for two baskets. I'm happy Nick shot in some 3-pointers but I can't find a whole lot good about our performance tonight.
