Karl Hobbs Great Quotations

He just has incredible confidence. Most scorers are confident. They have an incredible sense of themselves, and that's a great trait to have. He feels he can make every shot.

He was outstanding tonight. He brought a great deal of energy. He's a talented player and he's playing better every game.

I thought our team played with a great deal of effort. We had a tough mountain to try and climb today. We lost to a very good program and I thought we played as hard as we could.

We're in position to have a great season. That's all we've done, put ourselves in position to possibly have a great finish.

We are going to continue to play the way we have been. It's a great opportunity for some guys to step up. ... I think they will respond to the challenge.

It's great for the fans; I think it means more to them. Maybe at the end of the season I can reflect on it. But when you're in the middle of the season and you have a tough stretch coming up, you don't think about it.

For me, it doesn't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of the whole season. It's a great accomplishment at this juncture, and Thursday night, if you lose, it doesn't mean anything.

The young guy is just stepping up. Whenever we need a big play or big score, he stepped up and made the play. But more importantly, he made great decisions with the basketball and I thought that was the difference. We kind of expect him to score. That's kind of what his trick is, and I thought he made great decisions with the ball.

We just wanted to make sure that we kept great pressure on them. We made sure we put them in situations that they had to make plays. We did not allow them to get into any sort of rhythm. It played a major role in why they shot the percentage they shot.

They're an improved basketball team. They're really playing within themselves. I think Coach (John Giannini) has done a great job of not letting opponents get comfortable. They do different things depending on who they play. We're going to have to execute well and have to be able to think on our feet.
