“Why we were so successful this year was the balance of the five starters and people who also contributed off the bench. I doubt it will be any one person coming in and trying to average 25 points a game again. It's going to have to be the success of a group of people -- that's what basketball is all about.”
“I'm extremely, extremely excited she made the decision to want to play again. That's a lot of points and a lot of rebounds we can't just count on and assume. So I'd love it, but it's not going to be final until it's final.”
“Everything we do we're going to try to do it together. We obviously don't have any All-Americans on this team, so everything we do is going to have to be done by a group.”
“Offensively, we've got to do a better job of getting better shots. It's not good when we're at the end of the (shot) clock every other possession shooting 27-foot 3-pointers. And that's a lot of me getting us in a better offensive flow.”
“When we're not shooting the ball as well as we have, and we're not getting the looks like we have in the past couple of years, you look at what we're doing well right now. That's playing defense.”
“It's just a by-product of good teammates and the coaches put me in good situations. That's really what it is; I really don't think I did anything special.”
“A lot of that is a tribute to our transition (offense); even on made shots we were getting up and getting good looks. It was a good balance between the inside and outside play.”
“We talk about us having six starters. Whoever that sixth person is going to be coming off the bench, they've got to be a spark, and Nicky did a great job of that.”
