“His mentality has been good. I think the national team camp helped him a lot, to see where those guys are, what they're doing and how they're doing things. Since then he has been different. He's impressed all of us, but we're just at the beginning. So as a coaching staff we're going to do anything we can to make sure that he is consistent the whole year.”
Peter Nowak
“I don't think you'll see this anywhere else for any other team. It's the blue-collar mentality. What can I say -- we're true fans of Pittsburgh. It's basically our life.”
Jim Butler
“I think it's definitely mental. We've just got to show up mentally for this game and every game from here on out.”
Stan Gaines
“We just weren't mentally prepared. I think the guys just assumed that teams at the bottom (of the conference) would lay down for us.”
Lewis Jackson
“The hearts of men reject what they cannot mentally grasp.”
Dedrick D. L. Pitter
“Our players are building mental toughness. It's really hard with a young team. It's very hard to close teams out in a close game. The more that you get experience at it and the more you learn from the experience is when you don't do it is where it can really help you.”
Tom Crean
“You think we're fragile mentally? I don't think so at all. I mean we've got a good team and if you think we're fragile that's from you all's perspective. But we've got a good team, and we're going to fight on the road.”
