Aaron Gray Last Quotations

Guys are putting too much stress on the offensive end and not enough stress on the defensive end. I think that showed in the last game. We also have to cut down on turnovers. The biggest part of the meeting was cutting down on the little things. People don't understand that one possession, one breakdown can lead to you winning or losing the game. We've confronted those issues and hopefully we'll learn from them.

I think that last 3-pointer he made was from 15 feet from beyond the arc. He's such a great player. When he's doing something like that, you just have to sit back and marvel at it.

We're steps ahead of last year. We're playing more like a team. We have confidence in each other.

This is a typical Big East game. Even this game came right down to the last shot. The guys did a good job fighting back. It's going to be like this day-in and day-out. There's no gimme wins in this conference.

In discussing my options the last couple of weeks with my family and Coach Dixon, I feel that it is in my best interest to declare for the NBA Draft. I will not hire an agent, leaving me the option to return to the University of Pittsburgh for my senior season. The draft process will provide me a great learning experience and will help me become a better player.

We're going to try to have as good a game as last time. We take pride in our defense here. It's going to be a battle, but I'm looking forward to it.

It's going to be interesting to see where we end up. That last game is very important.

I couldn't believe when he hit that last 3-pointer from about 15 feet beyond the line, but what can you do? He was unbelievable.
