Jay Wright Senior Quotations

I think our team playing well helped him. I know he's very concerned about joining this group, his senior class. That was always his motivation and I didn't want to take that motivation away from him.

I'm very excited about the fact that his progress has been so encouraging. But I still would, however, encourage him to come back and have a full senior season.

I'm proud of our guys, that our senior class can be called champions.

I'm proud of our guys, that our senior class can be called champions. Over a 16-game schedule in this conference, to win a championship is a great accomplishment. I think we're playing our best basketball right now.

That is nice for him, and last year in the tournament he struggled. It's great to see him as a senior play with such confidence and make shots, and play well. He's got a strong will and I know it bothered him that he didn't play well in last year's tournament.

I definitely see the comparison. Both teams had key senior leadership and I can see the parallel between Rudy Gay and Marvin Williams and the impact that each has. I had never really thought about this before, but I definitely see it.
