Press Conference Quotes

Ivan Rabb:

"We did everything coach asked us to do. Especially on the defensive end."

"It was good that I got to line early and often. It means that I'm dominating my match-up and getting them in foul trouble."

Nick Kerr:

"It was pretty awesome. You dont get too many chances to get in as a walk-on."

On Cole Welle's lay-up mishap: "From my angle it look like he could dunk it. But he said he was too cold."

Coach Cuonzo Martin:

"Jaylen for me, I want him to stay aggressive. He's very good in transition so we set him up at the top of the press to give him more chances more opportunities."

"Guys who play owe it to those guys (sitting on the bench) to give them a chance to play. If you can win a game at that level and give them a chance to play thats great."
