Marty Simmons Team Quotations

Maybe it is not scoring or rebounding. The guys are doing a good job defensively of creating good opportunities for their teammates. They are a good team to coach.

It is going to be a bear. Every team going over there has a feeling that they can win it. The teams that guard and execute and pay attention to detail are going to be the teams that win.

We have a lot of respect for Grand Valley State. They have an outstanding team. They are a big, balanced team that plays extremely hard. It will be a big challenge for the Cougars.

You have to give Quincy credit. They were the more aggressive team throughout the entire game.

We've got a good nucleus coming back. That's the lifeblood of any program --being able to get good players and make your team better through the recruiting process. That's our challenge.

I'm just thrilled and honored and very excited to be part of this. It's probably a tribute more to our team success than anything else -- and they were some of the greatest memories of my life.
