Tom Crean Guys Quotations

Joe has worked so hard on his shooting, as has Dan, and we feel like it's going in when they get the ball. We are very confident with those guys on the floor. It makes a lot of difference for us to be able to play five guards and not have any drop-off when you go to the bench.

I was proud of the way our guys hung in there and battled back, even though we were unable to finish it off.

What I told my team after the game was first thing, that I've been a part of some great wins and some great teams. (But) I've never been around a group of guys that sold out for each other like they did in the second half.

We still need to sign guys. We have workable depth, but we need more. The more guys you have that can handle the ball -- pass and shoot and create -- the better for everyone.

I've never been around a group of guys who sold out for each other in the second half. It was one of the most amazing things I have seen a team do.

I never underestimate our young guys and what their abilities are.

For our guys to be a part of history like that is really important. It's important to understand history and realize they have the ability to make it.

For our guys to be a part of history like that was important.
