Ben Johnson

  • I don't know if I've been prouder of a group than this team. To battle the way we did from start to finish, especially after the way last week went. I'm just really proud of every one of them.
  • We, for whatever reason, feel so confident on the road, I don't know how to explain it. We thought we'd be able to get some good stuff offensively…but we had to drive it, we had to be aggressive, we had to move it. It all started defensively.
  • The resolve, the toughness, we've always had that, it just got better. What Brennan was able to do off the bench was phenomenal….the mental fortitude but never break, bend but never break.
  • Last play sequence - As long as we make the right decision, you've gotta live with the results. It looked good, the minute it left it hands, I could tell I firmly believe the basketball gods were rewarding Brennan.
  • Lu'Cye Patterson's confidence grows by the day. He did not want to lose today and he did everything humanly possible to will this team.
  • On Brennan talking to the crowd - normally you want guys to be a little more composed than that, but I let Brennan be Brennan. He let emotions feed him in a good way, he was locked in.
  • Lu'Cye Patterson sitting on the floor - he was just exhausted, he gave everything he had. To win at this level, it takes everything and he gave everything
  • Was Dawson injured - he was limping a little bit, he tweaked it a little bit
  • Assistant Coach Jason Kemp had surgery and is doing well, but Ben joked that when you miss a win on the road, you may have to stay home now.

Ben is taking this superstitious stuff too far.
