Doug Wojcik Quotations

Memphis really does dribble-drive well. We ended up switching four positions at the end of the game. We fought hard all game, but in the end Memphis had too much firepower.

He is kind of a replica of an Anthony Price.

I think sometimes you really have to go through tough times to appreciate the good times.

I think Morris Almond is a Big Ten player, an ACC player. He is the best in our league as far as a triple threat goes.

I thought Rodney Carney stepped up really big when he had to. The 3 he hit towards the end of the first half, and the 3 when it was a two-point game late in the second half, hurt us.

To go up like we did, we would have liked to have gained energy and put them away, and we just didn't.

We played very well tonight and really competed against Memphis. I am very proud of our team. I thought (Rodney) Carney stepped up really big when he had to. He is the potential C-USA Player of the Year candidate, and he showed why.

Strength and weight are a little bit of an issue right now but the willingness to learn, the willingness to work and the intelligence to pick things up all are in his favor.

Southern Miss and Tulsa, there's two teams that have the toughest time scoring points. But I think it's going to be a very evenly matched game. They're dangerous.

Southern Miss was very resilient (Wednesday). ... They just gutted it out.

You've got to make shots to be a Division I player. We did a good job of limiting our turnovers and got good shots, but couldn't make anything.

As a team, we play defense well and our kids listen. Memphis did a poor job at the free throw line (26-of-41) and that really kept us in the game.
