Scott Skiles Season Quotations

We have yet to get serious about the defensive end and out-play people. Until we do that, we are going to be an up and down team. I thought by this point in the season a lot of our guys would learn that lesson, but so far they haven't.

We should have won that second game of the season at New Jersey (a 100-99 loss). It is nice to put one behind you against a team that has kind of dominated us.

We should have won that second game of the season at New Jersey. We missed a free throw and gave up a three-point play basically at the buzzer. It's a game we felt like we should have won. I guess it is nice to pull out a win against a team that's dominated us.

We know we're in a battle right now. This is obviously a huge week. It's possible there could be a little more clarity by this time next week. This is the biggest week of our season right here.

The season was on the ropes for a while. And they turned it around, and did it in an impressive fashion.

The question we had is what if this was regular season and a back-to-back? You would know before the next game so why does it take so long?

We've had our ups and downs obviously this season. But the way they closed the season speaks to what kind of group of guys this is. We had many opportunities to not be as sharp, let the last few games go by and go on vacation (today). Whenever that (possibility) presented itself, the guys fought their way out of it.

The way they've closed the season speaks to what kind of group this is. We've had many opportunities to let the games go by, win a couple, lose a couple, and go on vacation (after the regular season). I think every chance, when that presented itself, the guys fought their way out of it. They've earned themselves a very good season.

This is probably our season right here, to either get back in it or not. Obviously, we have to win our home games.

It was one of our best all-around efforts this season from beginning to end. The guys were in tune with the game plan. We came out in the third quarter a little bit off, but we quickly re-grouped.
