Gary Waters Great Quotations

I was surprised by the seeding and not getting a home game. But, hey, stranger things have happened to me this year. I'm disappointed because we have a great venue at Rutgers.

I thought Marquis Webb did a great job on Clayton. As Clayton goes the team goes, and I think we did a good job on him.

JR is in great spirits it's just something that we're just going to have to let heal. It happened where he just planted the wrong way and it just cracked on him.

I thought our kids followed the game plan extremely well. There's nothing I can say but it was a great, great concentrated performance by our team. Our guys worked extremely hard. I thought we rebounded the ball well. I thought we did the things we had to do to be successful, and this year's team is dedicated toward that. They followed what we told them to do. They did everything to a tee.

We had a great game plan of who we wanted to shut down. But the one we didn't have room for in our equation was Lowry. He had a phenomenal game. A phenomenal game.

This game was about intensity and toughness, and I knew Ollie would bring that to the table. I just thought our kids did a great job playing with emotion and intensity. That's something we didn't do in the first half against Providence, but understand, that was an oddity. This team plays hard.

I have to give DePaul a great deal of credit because they could have backed down in that game when we were up by eight in the last four minutes of the game. But they kept fighting.

I do know he can do more than just recruit. He's done a great job here to be honest with you. I couldn't ask for a better person to be with. He'll succeed. He's from New Jersey and you need that here.
