Gary Waters Year Quotations

The plan is in action. First year I wanted to get to .500. The next year a NIT berth. This year we have a chance at 17 or 18 wins. The plan is in action.

His skill level has improved. A year ago he was coming along. Two years ago he was shooting from long range. Now he's shooting the short and mid-range shot, so he's really a scoring threat.

We had a plan to get to the Final Four and we came pretty close. We should win 17, 18 this year and there is no doubt in my mind Rutgers should be in the NCAA Tournament next season.

When the powers-that-be have made decisions, you don't know where and when it all started. I know a year ago when we came in last place in the Big East the bubbling started. This year they had question marks when we lost a few games. This is the best league in America and we could end up 7-9 with a team that was picked to finish 14th and not be in the Big East Tournament.

I told the guys that I'm going to miss them. I told them I love them. I also talked to them about next year ? go out and get to the NCAA (Tournament) because they have the ability to do that.

That's the first time we played this year that we dominated a team without Quincy shooting well.
