“The last one we just played was pretty tough for us, one of the quickest turnarounds we’ve had.”

“We’re just looking to build off the two big wins we got.”

“Neither, but I feel either way with us being at home I’d take us against anyone in the nation. I feel we’re playing really good basketball right now and I want to keep trending in the right way.”

“Everyone is clicking on the right cylinders. DJ Funderburk is playing great for us. Markell Johnson got off to a slow start but has been great for us the past couple of games. We have guys leading and everyone has bought in right now.  It’s a great time for us to be in this position.”

“I think either Miami or Clemson I played 40 minutes. After that game I was pretty tired but for me to go out there and do that after sitting out four games was a statement of the shape I’ve been in playing in Keatts’ system.”

“I feel like it’s still a work-in-progress.”

“We have so many weapons on this team, offensively and defensively... guys who can step up and hit big shots.”

“Devon Daniels has made some timely baskets for us. We have a lot of talent on the court and on the bench that we can bring off.”

“There are so many more weapons we look forward to continuing to use.”

“I’m sure it’s hard to scout for other teams because there’s not really one guy you can dial in on. Anyone can have a career night.”

“We play really hard. We go hard everyday in practice... and we have a lot of revenge out there for teams, especially with us not really being able to make it to the tournament last year.”

“It’s a statement season for us and we look forward to continuing it the right way.”

“I feel like Virginia with Diakite and Jay Huff inside was a big test for us, and for us to pass that we can play against any big man in the country... us passing that test was a big statement for us.”

“There’s a rumor out there that Cole Anthony might be back. That’s something we look forward to. We want to play against anybody and everybody in this conference.”

“It’s a lot of momentum for us. We’re moving in the right direction right now, and we want to build off that.”

“I feel like we got a little sloppy down the stretch. I’ll say the referees didn’t help out much, but we got sloppy toward the end.  It was a big road win for us.”

“With us having Pat Andree out, one of our sharpshooters, him and Braxton Beverly, then Manny can protect the paint like anyone in the nation. For us to still go to Virginia and get that big road win for us, I can say was a huge statement for us.”

“Hopefully we’ll get them back in a week or so and be back at full strength where we can match up against anybody in the nation.”

“We’ve definitely turned up the defensive intensity and our offense will come as result of that. We’ll get out more in transition, especially with Manny back blocking those shots we can get out.”

“D.J. Funderburk has been a big factor for us.”
