Jim Bolla Team Quotations

We talked about this being the team that beat us in the tournament at practice yesterday. Hopefully we got that bad game out of our system for the year in the second Kent State game.

I think these last two games we've played more as a team than we had been doing. We really did a good job of executing, and I'm very happy with the way they're playing right now.

I think we've got something to prove to ourselves. That wasn't our team out there. We're playing a little better now.

It was an ugly game. I wasn't happy with our performance in the first half, but it wasn't unexpected. Whenever this team has a layoff, we just don't play well early.

I'm getting questions from people all over the place on that. I would hope so. I think this team deserves it. I think we've got some quality wins over some good teams.

I'm disappointed that it came to this kind of situation. We have addressed the issue and resolved it. The players have taken responsibility for their actions and hopefully the team will be ready to move forward.

They were a completely different team than when they came to see us. It's hard to adjust because we played them in the second conference game and then in the last. We couldn't get any continuity with how much better they were.

The Bulldogs are probably the most athletic team in the conference. If they keep playing the way they did today, no one will touch them. They are way ahead of Louisiana Tech the way they are playing now.
