Bobby Jones Team Quotations

When I have started him, he hasn't played as well. I guess he just needs to watch for a few minutes before he goes in. That seems to work. We are still finding out what works, but this team is giving me great effort.

Lets collide and get it over with. We've had our list of streaks to break and been checking them off. This is our improvised list. Everybody knows what it takes. We're playing the team expected to win the national championship. Either you bring it or you don't.

Give Robert Morris a lot of credit. I thought they played like a team desperate to get that fourth seed and the home game. They showed great focus and determination to win this basketball game.

He has that grown-man game. He's strong, he rebounds. He just takes that team to another level.

I think that (Alister) MacKenzie and I managed to work as a completely sympathetic team. Of course there was never any question that he was the architect and I was the advisor and consultant. No man learns to design a golf course simply by playing golf, no matter how well. But it happened that both of us were extravagant admirers of the Old Course at St Andrews and we both desired as much as possible to simulate seaside conditions insofar as the differences in turf and terrain would allow.

The team from last year had been through so much together. We came from the bottom to the top with that team. This team hasn't realized how it is when it's really bad. Ideally, I don't want us to experience that.

It was a huge statement for us. Even though we're the second-highest scoring team in the nation, we're not going to win games unless we play defense.

It takes a special team to win on the road. It takes great guard play to win on the road. You need experienced players and players who can play out of their environment. Look at some of the top teams in the country. Take Pitt for example, which lost to Marquette on the road (Saturday). It is not easy in college basketball to win on the road anywhere. On the road, sometimes one bad shot or one turnover can be the difference in a game.

They've got three or four (future) pros on their team. People think we're the underdog, but we're going to play like we're the No. 1 team in the nation. We think we deserve a little more credit for what we do.
