John Brady Played Quotations

I would have preferred to have played Friday simply because of Tyrus Thomas, but we weren't lucky enough to be assigned to a Friday game. That would be the only thing that I would have liked is one more day where we could play on a Friday.

Let's be honest, what are we? Twelve and five? We've played 17 games. I think we ought to reserve those kind of judgments and statements to much later down the road.

Kevin is very comfortable on the court. He's been starting since he was a freshman. Dave and Brent played well for us, but it's an adjustment for them.

I thought we had the game won on a couple of occasions. I don't think we played real smart down the stretch. We had some really careless turnovers uncharacteristic of how we've been playing.

Unfortunately they've lost some close games, but I don't look at a team as good or bad if two or three games were decided by three points either way. Arkansas played really well at home against South Carolina, and we'll have to be much better than we were against Alabama.

We played good defense all year long and we got a lot of credit for it against Duke. We had to have another defensive performance tonight.

We played hard all night. I thought we did some very good things on the fly against a talented team tonight. I am happy with the overall effort that we gave.

We played really well in overtime, but the 3 that Glen Davis hit was really something special. You've got to have those kinds of plays when you have the kind of season that we've had.

I wanted to play a good team from a different region. It's a TV game. We played at Connecticut this year, and we're going to play them at our place next year. After this one, Washington is coming to our place.

You could see tonight, without Tyrus, he stepped up his game, particularly offensively, and really played well for us.
