John Jay Pleased Quotations

We played well enough to win this game. As a team we have a significant ceiling to shoot for. There is a lot of room for this team to grow. I'm pleased with how we played. If we played this well the first three weeks we would have a different record from 7-5.

Brett played 20 minutes on Thursday with two turnovers. We don't have that ratio of turnovers per minutes played on our team right now. He did a really good job. I'm very pleased with what he did, and the chances are pretty good I'll probably start him again on Thursday.

I'm pleased with how he's playing and the efficiency level we're getting from the big guys. They are in a good rhythm with each other. I'm pleased with how they are coming together and working together.

Thursday's game was a difficult game to coach and endure. Today's was not. It was the best 40 minutes of basketball we've played since Washington State (on Jan. 21). There's an enthusiastic locker room that is excited about practicing on Monday. From those things, I'm pleased today.

Thursday's game was difficult for me as a coach to endure. Today's was not. I'm pleased today. We dug ourselves a huge hole, no doubt about it, but we found a rhythm.
