Herb Sendek Both Quotations

Ideally, I'd like to have some more time. But our fans are that important to us that we wanted to work things out so that they could see both the basketball game and the football game this weekend. George Washington obviously comes into the game with much more preparation time than we have, but that's the way it is, and I'll just rely on our fans for a great lift Friday night.

Part of being a senior is you've been able to learn, overcome and grow from the sum total of your experiences, both the good and the not so good. These three young men that we'll honor have had terrific basketball careers and all have added great value to our program.

I think they're a great basketball team. I think they're as talented as anybody. They play both ends of the floor. They have great depth. They play very hard. I've been exceedingly impressed with Florida State this season.

I think they're a great basketball team. They're as talented as anybody and play very hard at both ends of the floor.

I think they're playing very hard. They're really getting after it both defensively and on offense. Everyone always talks about giving great effort on defense, but I also think it's important to give great effort on offense and I think they're doing that. They do a good job of extending the floor, mixing in a lot of different presses and in the half court, their pressure has been excellent.

I think we've improved in every area, and I think they could say the same. That game was the first weekend in January before we started going through this gauntlet. I think both teams just have so many more experiences; so many more practices that have hopefully made us better in every area. And I think we both probably are.

We're just trying to recover from a hard-fought double-overtime game. It was one of those games really neither team lost. Both teams played winning basketball and we were fortunate to come away with a win.

The one thing that stands out in my mind is the field goals we gave up after missed free throws. If I am not mistaken, the Duke shooter got two offensive rebounds on missed free throws. I think in both of those cases they resulted in follow-up three pointers.

We did a good job bouncing back and our guys came together and they battled. I think foul trouble really hurt both teams and especially us with Cedric Simmons in foul trouble. (Simmons) was really only a shell of himself trying not to pick up extra fouls.

Chuck, don't be jealous because my win-loss record is better than yours. Besides, we both know I'm training to be a cage fighter.
