Jeff Pendergraph Quotations

I take pride in practice. I don't show up like practice is practice; I show up to get better. Every practice and every game I'm learning something. But I won't be satisfied until I'm the best player in the world.

Winning does make it a lot easier to get that national spotlight. People aren't going to talk about a player on a losing team.

We're starting to get a little upset with ourselves. We're losing these games because of ourselves.

We know we can't just be satisfied with this.

It would be nice if there was another big man at the post. Double teams on me wouldn't be as evident.

But mostly, I'm just trying to be more consistent.

You only get blown out if you stand there and let people punch you and you don't fight back. That's what happened to us.

This is definitely going to be a big game and a season-maker if we can go down to their house and give them payback for beating us here.

If you can control him and their point guard, you should be fine because the rest of the team isn't really much of a factor.

I just want to meet Coach and get to know him. You have to give somebody a chance first before you can make any big decision like that.

I didn't know much about him, and I thought that some of what I heard was maybe hype. But he's not just another freshman. He's definitely here on business and has been all season.

The main key was we didn't stop them on defense, especially when we knew we had to stop them. It showed that we weren't all on the same page and we dug ourselves a big hole.
