Gary Waters Playing Quotations

Playing Princeton is like pulling teeth. It's been that way for a long time.

Remember, we lost two of our last three games, and that stopped us from getting to the NCAA. We're actually playing better, but (playing) on the road is a different case. Now we're playing game by game.

We're playing at Penn State, which is 15-14. That's a surprise to me, but stranger things have happened to me this year.

A lot of people will say our kids are playing for me. No, they're playing to better themselves.

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.

It was monumental if you want to call it that. It was something I think our kids wanted and a lot of people are going to say they're playing for me. No, they're playing for themselves.

The kid is playing at a phenomenal level, and they really don't know about him. He is in my estimation the most underrated player in the country.

The kid is playing at a phenomenal level. And they really don't know about him. I don't know if it's because if you're not at the top of the league or whatever. ... He is in my estimation the most underrated basketball player, not just guard but player, in the country.

We were playing three games in five days. These guys played their heart out, especially in the first half. I don't feel bad. I thought our kids did the best job they could.
