Billy Gillispie Teams Quotations

The style of play with Missouri will be quite different. Coach Huggins will definitely recruit at the very highest level, and his teams always play with unbelievable intensity. And Jeff is one of the best young guys in the country.

There are a lot of teams out there that will do well in the NCAA Tournament. But there are a lot of teams that still have work to do, and we're one of those teams.

Our conference isn't getting enough respect. There are too many people out there talking that haven't watched our teams play. They weren't in this arena today and they weren't in a lot of different arenas, they just make assumptions based on stuff that's not factual.

I haven't studied all the teams in this league, but I know it's hard to make baskets in this league. I think it's attributable to the good defenses out there. There are good offenses out there, good offensive schemes, so I would say it's good defense.

We were really bad on offense, but we have to credit their defense. Both teams played hard enough to win. There wasn't a great deal of offense on either side.

This was a really, really tough loss for us. Both teams played hard enough to win. There wasn't a great deal of offense on either side; you credit the defenses, but it's a tough one.
