IU BBall Quotes that make you go huh?

There are some good ones after last night's game...

"At the beginning of the game we weren’t flowing like we usually do in practice. SIU-Edwardsville did a great job of scouting us." - Roderick Wilmont

Huh? How would they have scouted this team? Do we think they sent someone over to watch the Bellermine game while they were playing the Illini? No... maybe the fact that IU just stands around and doesn't do anything with purpose had a bigger impact.

"Offensively, the shots just weren’t falling. "- DJ White

So does Mike use the "Shots just weren't falling" excuse so much that even a freshman picks it up and uses it in the second exhibition game?

“Bracey doesn’t have to shoot a lot anymore." - Patrick Ewing Jr.

So true... but does Bracey believe that? We'll see.

"We struggled offensively because we were tired." - Mike Davis

I sure hope the conditioning improves then!

“Our post game is good. " - Mike Davis

How would we know? We have played 2 DII teams that have no size. Get back to me after the UNC game and we'll see if our post game is any good.

“You can never erase last year. But we’re a completely new team this year. We have new players, new uniforms, new coaches, and we’re excited because we think we have something good going on here.” - Mike Davis

Those new uniforms are really going to make a difference this year! This is outstanding... I get more entertainment from the post game quotes than I do the games.

“[Southern Illinois-Edwardsville] went all guards, except for their center. We had to play mostly guards and couldn’t play both D.J. (White) and Sean (Kline) in order to keep up with them, so we couldn’t use our forwards the way we wanted to.” - Mike Davis

I had to save the best for last. WHAT??? We are matching up to a Div. II team? How about we go big and see if they can guard us inside? Oh wait, we don't have any size anyway, so that is a moot point. Unbelievable. It's an exhibition game. Play your game and see what happens! I remember Knight playing everyone in exhibition games to see where each player stood. But then again he prepared his teams for the season... I have no idea what Davis is doing!
