Jamie Dixon Aaron Quotations

We were very efficient in the second half. We wanted to get it inside to Aaron from the start. We missed some easy ones early. Our patience was good in the second half. We used the clock and got shots at the end of the clock, which can wear down teams. We really had good clock management.

Sam played well against West Virginia the previous two games. He finished well in the second half. He got great passes from Aaron a couple of times. He's just a freshman playing against seniors. That's why he's getting better.

If you remember, Aaron wasn't highly recruited. Look at him now. He's better than a lot of the players recruited ahead of him.

Aaron carefully considered this decision and sought the right information before making it. We've been counseling him each step of the way and will continue to do so over the next two months. This is a logical step for Aaron to take and we will support him wholeheartedly.

But I told Aaron that it's over and we're moving on.

This is a logical step for Aaron to take, and we will support him wholeheartedly.

It wasn't too much, it was a slight adjustment. We wanted to keep Aaron a little bit more around the basket.

It wasn't our prettiest game. It was tough, and we battled through. We had guys in foul trouble. Aaron and Carl played the whole game with their hands in their pockets. We played our usual rotation, playing a lot of guys, and it benefited us a lot. We'll continue to do that. It's the best thing for this group. So many guys made big plays.
