Larry Eustachy Program Quotations

I can't imagine what those guys and their program have been through. We respect them as much as any team in the league.

We're obviously not there yet. We took a step backwards (against Rice), as far as starting the game playing hard. It all comes back to me. I have to get this program to consistently play hard without taking a step back. We had it going for four or five games, and then we took a step back.

He was the leading scorer on a 2-14 team. Not knocking Rashaad, but this program is going to be just fine with or without (him).

He's buying into our program and how he should play the game, and that's promising. He was very contentious early on, and he still has his moments, but he's learning.

I've never had a program - and this is my fourth one - that simulates this. We've had a tough go of it.

When you don't make baskets, it really triggers a lot of bad events. That's where the program is right now. We can't fight through the adversity without dropping our head a little bit. But we fought to the end, and we learned a lot.

This year's schedule will be a competitive one for our team. Much like last season, we have several newcomers, who along with our returning players, need to have a little bit of success. I believe the schedule is right for where our program stands today.

I know this program is 100 times better than at this time a year ago,

It was a big win. A program turnaround win. It was a nice builder for next year. We're going to be good.

If I crashed into a telephone pole and (assistant coach) Steve Barnes was coach, the program would be fine.
