“Matt is just a tremendous worker in every sense. We have guys on this team like Matt who can really play. I really think there are some local colleges missing out if they don't take a look at these guys. They are great athletes and basketball players.”
Barry Johnson
“Matt and Brian are going to make our team a lot better,”
Nick Watney
“Matt Jones at 80 percent is more than many teams can handle. He should be 90 percent next week so things are looking up.”
Tim Riordan
“I gave our athletic director, Matt Stapleton, a wish list to get. From last week's rankings, there were 18 teams we saw last summer or are going to play this fall. Even if we lost all the tough ones, we're still better for the tournament.”
Tim Reznich
“I'd like to put in my two cents. I'd like to see Matt Millen coach the team, to be honest with you. Because he keeps talking about they need a disciplinarian guy and a hard-nosed guy that kind of fits the character of the city. I think he's the perfect choice to just get out there and start rocking some heads.”
Chris Chelios
“It doesn't matter who scores on this team. Last year we had three guys [Matt Walsh, Anthony Roberson and David Lee] we relied on to score. But we don't have a go-to guy on this team. Anybody can have a big night.”
Al Horford
“This was another step forward for this team to be able to win a game with Matt Bird on the bench for a big chunk of it. It shows us that we are more than a one-man team.”
