Stan Heath Played Quotations

He is a handful. Chris has played very well in most of their big games. I feel in some ways that I've got one of the best defensive centers in the country in my team in Steven Hill. I know Chris is going to be hard to stop, but he's going to face a kid that relishes defense, relishes shot blocking, relishes shutting somebody down. And if he (Chris) does well, it's going to be because he earned it.

Our team played very well at Alabama. That was one of our better road games. We could have made better choices. Where do we go from here? We go to Auburn and get a win.

I was proud of my guys Saturday on a number of levels. Our kids played hard, they played tough but most of all they finished.

We played hard in the two losses, but we missed some shots that I knew we were capable of making. We got those shots to fall against Vanderbilt.

I've been really pleased with actually how we've played as a whole on the road. Now, it's just that fine line of getting that big road victory.

I've got this old Piston mentality of how they played in the old days and how they play now. Sometimes when those shots aren't falling, you can just grind out a win, just tough it out with rebounds, good defense. That doesn't bother me.

I knew we had lost two games by not very much, but played hard doing it. I told the guys I wanted them to play hard, but I also told them to have fun.

I'm disappointed in the loss, but I'm more disappointed in the way we played. Give Ole Miss credit. They played like a team in the hunt for it all.

Everybody's real excited about not only being in the tournament, but going to Dallas. I think it's a great spot for us to be in a lot of fans in the Dallas area. We've already played one game there.
