"I thought we were better tonight than we were on Saturday, which is encouraging for a coach to watch a team develop. Specifically, I thought our guys off the bench gave us a great boost in the first half.” - Greg Gard after his team’s loss against MSU in their last game.

 

 

"Our guys are a little down right now, and they should be. They got smacked in the face tonight. You know, my thing is, we're just not competing at all, and that's on me. You know, I got to get us competing harder and stronger, and we’re not doing that. You know, we were awful in guarding. We had a good game plan going in, and we just — I mean, half of the 3s, we’re right there with a hand and hoping that they miss instead of just getting into the ball and making them put it down." - Mike Woodson after his team’s loss against PSU in their last game.
