William Hazlitt Quotes
A man who does not endeavour to seem more than he is will generally be thought nothing of.

The bottom line is, we didn't make shots. It's just disappointing that we played as well as we did defensively, and yet it's a 10-point loss. And we missed free throws.

We're either going to get it or we're going to continue to be a .500 team. We're either going to figure it out or remain an average program.
