“Marcus Cross made some good plays when we went live. When he learns more of the offense and what we expect of him, he will get better.”
Brent Guy
“[The lack of a second point guard] is clearly our Achilles' heel on this team. When Marcus wasn't distributing the ball as well [like in the overtime loss to Syracuse last Thursday in New York], we struggle. There is no more important player in the Tournament.”
Jim Calhoun
“Both against Albany and tonight, although in different ways, these teams forced Marcus Williams to make plays to beat them. And Marcus took advantage of the opportunity both times. He was magnificent.”
“Last year when we signed him, we said Marcus would be the best out of all the candidates for the McDonald's All-America team. I think he has proven that this year with how he's played.”
Lute Olson
“The one thing about Marcus is that he goes out there and plays tough the whole game. He makes the right pass and the right shot. He can rebound and defend. He's a complete player.”
Rudy Gay
“We played a beautiful first half, but let them (Marcus) take too many shots in the second half. It was the tale of two halves. We had our chances in the first half, but we just didn't capitalize.”
Rick Woodard
“Marcus is an excellent two-way player, proven in the NHL and can play all three forward positions. He is by no means a short-term acquisition. He is a player I have been interested in since last summer. What's huge for us is that we did not have to give up a roster player or a prospect.”
