NORTH TEXAS vs.
Wednesday, March 5, 2008 / The Super Pit
First Round Sun Belt Conference Tournament
JOHNNY JONES QUOTES
“I would like to commend our players. I thought this game was very well played on both ends of the court.
I thought Stewart (Harold) came in and played well. He defended well, but also provided help defense for us. He was very sound just missing a double-double with 9 points and 9 rebounds.
Dennis (Collin) was a little banged up tonight but was still able to go out and compete well. I thought we got a huge lift from McCoy (Adam) tonight. He came in and shot a perfect 8 for 8 from the field. This was his best game of the season and he is coming around at just the right time for us.
On the Crowd
“The crowd has been great for us all year. Our students have done a tremendous job supporting us. We want to do everything we can to get the crowd excited and keep them excited about North Texas basketball, where they will continue to come and support us,”
On Back-2-Back 20 win seasons
“Twenty wins in consecutive seasons is a compliment to not only the team but the entire program. These young men work extremely hard in practice and the fruits of their labor are beginning to show on the court. We won a school-record 15 games at home this year. We want this place (Super Pit) to be a tough place for teams to come and play. This is a testament to our crowd and student body. They have played a huge role in our success.
