Steve Fisher Good Quotations

How would you feel if you won eight straight games and then lose this one? You would not feel good about yourself.

We're a better shooting team because of what Gregg Gottlieb has done every single day in practice for 10-15 minutes without fail. And we have become a team that you better not foul us, because we're going to make every free throw. That wins games. We'll take it and not apologize. If you have good players and you have talent, you can find a way that when you are sputtering a bit, hold on and get a win. We did that.

We're hoping over the next year he will become comfortable with our kids and coaches. He brings a wonderful skill level and athleticism. He comes from a premier program. Hopefully, he'll have a big impact on the type of player he is and those around him. That's what really good players do.

We've been a good shooting team all season long. I am confident we will shoot here the way we shot when we (beat) Utah (Jan. 14).

We walk that line. We need to prove that we are a good basketball team, and from the wins we have a little swagger. But we must be able to manage ourselves because we have a tough game against Utah on Saturday.

You're never quite as good as they say you are when you are on a good run and never quite as bad as when you are struggling to get a win. You must have respect for yourself first and that means you come to play every day. Winning helps you feel good about yourself. It's a slippery slope and you have to be careful with every little movement. I'm smart enough to know we've got half the conference season left.

You want to play hard enough and good enough to put yourself in a position to win the game, and we were able to do that today.
