“We haven't been going full contact near as much, and we're not down to just the first teams practicing (because injuries eliminated the depth). The second and third teams are getting reps now. We've taken huge steps this year. We wanted people to get out here, and they have.”

“We're not usually a basketball program, we're wrestling. This was the first time we had done anything even near this big in our program. It puts us on the map. We'll try to make some noise in states.”

“This is a good way to show the team we are not nearly in track shape. That will come with time, and also a break in the weather. We're ready to be outside on a permanent basis.”
Dave Peterson
“You take him off this team and we are not nearly as good as we are.”

“We're not nearly the team we were rebounding the ball as we were with Thornton. As we come into this game with Charlotte, we're a little like them in that we love to make 3s. ... Before we could win games if we had bad shooting nights, but at this point we can't.”
Sean Miller
“I think that an Australian side without Adam Gilchrist is not nearly as strong as with him in the team. Sri Lanka and South Africa could beat them no problem on their day. This is a very good opportunity now for Sri Lanka to come to the top. But I don't think our players will worry if Australia are being arrogant. If they are cocky, that's their problem, not ours.”
