NORTH TEXAS POSTGAME QUOTES vs. MIDDLE TENNESSEE, Feb. 9, 2006
Head Coach Johnny Jones
“I thought we got into a hard fought basketball game against a team that came into tonight’s game riding a three game winning streak. I thought our guys played hard for the entire game. They battled all the way to the very end. We had a chance to win or tie the game at the very end. We had good looks at shots that we usually knock down.”
“We have put ourselves in a tough spot. We have to go out on the road and win. I believe in these guys. They have shown that are capable of playing well on the road.”
Calvin Watson, Jr., G
“I just wanted to be aggressive tonight.”
“That last shot, after I shot it I really thought I could have come down with it and set up. But I’m not sorry I took the shot. It just didn’t go in.”
“At this point of the season, the biggest thing for us is we’ve just got to knock down our shots and play better defense. We’re not going to give up. We’ve got a lot of fight in us.”
Jeffrey Simpson, Sr., F
“We’ve just got to keep our heads up. We can’t worry about this game. We’ve got to find a way to bounce back on the road this weekend.”
“We know what we need to do. We’ve just got to give it all we’ve got and leave it all out on the floor. We’ve got to keep our intensity up and play hard.”
