“Dennis is the heart and soul of our team. We are extremely disappointed for him, however his health and future is important. Time is the major ingredient in his recovery.”
“We had pockets of success, but when we do we go off on our own and don't follow the plan. Until we change that mentality, we're going to struggle with teams.”
“They have an inside-outside game and you basically have to pick your poison. Part of it was fatigue, some of it was getting away from playing the way we need to be successful and it took us too long to try to get that back.”
“They have an inside-outside game -- they have guys who can score in the post, and guys who can shoot from 3, and you basically have to pick your poison.”
“I don't think everybody realizes how much of a burden this has been for (Mills), losing Peyton. He came into the season being Robin and now he's Batman.”
“The play of the game was the missed block out on the free throw and he got the offensive rebound and put it back in and that kind of turned the tide right there. He did the things that he needed to do when his team needed to win. That's what we're searching for. We're searching for someone to make those kinds of plays in defining moments.”
“Any time a guy plays like that people will say why wasn't he playing from the beginning. Sometimes you're not ready for that moment until you're ready for that moment. I think he's ready for it now. Now he has to handle it. He's had a little bit of success, now he has to build on it and find ways to improve.”
