D. James Game Quotations

Chris is not playing we still have to go out there and fight for 48 minutes. If we had won the game everybody would have said 'they did it without Chris.' We miss him, but we still had a chance to win with what we had.

He was the man of the match. He understands this game well, and he came out ready to play today.

Pizza Hut always goes big for the big game with a new product launch.

It could be a running game every week. Whenever they call my number, I'm ready.

We'll feel good about ourselves today and get back to work tomorrow. Tuesday's game will be a whole different ball game. We worked all year for home-court advantage. We can't come into Tuesday and lose it.

I was on a bus getting off the plane for the game and my nephew called me. We hadn't heard from him. He called and he's doing good. I think he's in Texas.

Who wants to lose? But we don't look at 16-0 or whatever. We're one game at a time around here.

We've got another game this week and we're just taking it one game at time,

Both teams played fairly well considering it was the first game and kind of bitter out.

So far as scouting the other team, I just get tidbits of information, not too much. I plan my game according to what I believe. It's up to the other team to beat us.

We turned it over the whole game till right at the end and they turned it over at the end. It was a game of turnovers, I thought, and they just turned it over at the wrong time. Almost all (the runs) were off turnovers. That's what the tournament's all about.
