Ron Jirsa Good Quotations

Chris had two outstanding games. He was our leader. The Bahamian teams attacked with very quick, physical guards and it was a good challenge. In the second game he had nine assists and no turnovers. That's a great indicator of things to come.

We've done some of that and it's good for us to know just how much we still can improve at this late point of the season.

I am happy to see (Bro Grebe) get into the game. We need another presence to give Mark (Patton) a break, and I hope he can come in and do that. Tonight was a good sign of what he can do for us.

He won't turn 18 until July 25, or somewhere around there. He has a lot of tremendous upside. He has very big hands and can catch it. He's a very good foul shooter.

This is an important month for us. I was glad we were able to get it off to a good start tonight.

You've got to give East Carolina credit. They fought us off and made shots tonight. On defense they played a zone, and I thought they did a good job with that.
