“There's more to this rivalry now. They're a better team and they come ready to play. They're not the West Virginia from four or five years ago that got walked all over. They're going to come to play and we're going to try and make this a great game.”
“We have a 10-man [rotation]. We can go out and get the job done. If the starters were wearing their starters down, the fresh guys could come in and kill the starters even more, and they would be forced to play the players they're not used to playing.”
“Me and Carl sat down [Saturday] and I was a little frustrated. I was like, 'I can score 20 points in any game we play.' He said you just have to focus and go out there and play your best and pick your spots. I listened to him and I came out and picked my spots.”
“We're just all competitive players. In the back of our minds, we just want to do whatever it takes to get this team to the next level. It's an opportunity to step up. I'll step up. So will Sam Young. So will Tyrell Biggs. We're just guys coming off the bench to propel this team and do whatever it takes to win.”
“Basically, we can't be overanxious. We know what guys they have who shoot the ball really well and we know what guys they have who penetrate and look to get other people open shots. We have to be more patient on our defense and not over-help, just close out all shooters and play with our hands up the whole time.”
“We came into this year thinking we were going to win 20 games. A lot of people didn't. It's really not that important to us right now. We know we're in the (NCAA) tournament now, but we're still going to come out and play hard. We want more wins, as many as we can get this season from this team.”
“We came into this year thinking we'd get 20 wins. A lot of people didn't really think we could. But that's not important to us right now. We know we're in the (NCAA) tournament now, but we want more wins. We want as many wins as we can get out of this season for this team. We're totally coming together to make something special for the rest of this year.”
