Mike Browning Good Quotations

One of the things I pointed out to the guys was that it was a good win against Phoenix, but if we turn around and go to Charlotte and lose that ballgame, then beating Phoenix the night before doesn't really mean anything. Our guys were focused enough to come into the building and get a W.

(GM) Danny (Ferry) and those guys have talked about it. It's a good environment there, and he'll get a chance to play. That's entirely up to Danny.

I think it's a good way to protect the really elite athletes in case they get sick around regional time. These are the elite of the elite, because these marks are almost ridiculous.

We just didn't put the ball in the basket. On the offensive end of the floor, we have to execute, which is something that we did not do a good job of late in the game.

We fought and fought. We got some key stops down the stretch. It was a heck of a win against a very good basketball team.

We haven't done anything yet. If you have any type of advantage, hey, that's a good thing.

We executed our game plan on both ends of the floor fairly well. This was a good first step in a long process.

We're a small department. It looks good when these guys walk in.

We're growing as a team and that means having poise in pressure situations. When things get tight at the end of a game like that, you have to get a shot every time down the floor, make it a good shot, and knock in your free throws. We did that.

We've got to do real good playing the ball this week, because they'll throw it a lot. They take shots down the field for big plays, and we just have to match them.

I wanted to go to the biggest conference I could. The SEC is one of the best conferences in the country and when I went down there, they treated me really good and I really liked the players and coaches who I met.

That's good they (Washington) want to play us. I'd probably want to play us too if I was them.

They tell me I have a good shot at starting but that is just talk. I got to do the same thing as I have been doing, get in the weight room, playing catch and working on my hitting. They are a young team and they are looking for guys to step up. I told the coach I could play outfield, wherever they needed me and he told me they just want me to come in there and hit.

They showed us what playoff basketball is about. It was good for us to go through. We've experienced some ups and downs in the past and we've bounced back before. So I'm going to spin this into a positive and say that this butt-kicking was a good lesson for us on both ends of the floor.

They showed us what playoff basketball is all about. It will be good for us to have gone through this if we learn from it.

Even if it's just a matter of a simple vote, we all use (parliamentary procedure) at some point. It's a good leadership training activity.

Not taking anything away from Washington, that's a very good basketball team down there, (but) it looked like our guys thought they were coming out after the first three minutes.

They just kick our behinds. They showed us what playoff basketball is about, and it was good for us.

We have to feel good about this win, but we have a back-to-back against Charlotte (tonight). We have to come out focused and ready to play.
