It never stops. He brings everybody up. When guys are down, he is the first one to put a smile on your face. When you are around him, you always have to keep an eye on him to see what he will do next. He is just so funny. He's a comedian. If basketball doesn't work out, he might have something in comedy.

Pops is playing like the monster he is. Nothing he's doing out there is surprising us because we see it every day.

I think the fact that Pops wasn't out there was really our rallying point because Pops is such a valuable part of this team mentally, physically and emotionally.

If I ever need something, if I'm ever in a desperate situation, I've got to call this guy [pointing to Elliott] right here. He's money.

I don't think we'll play another team as skilled as they are. We just lost to a better team.

At the beginning of the game, I was a little timid to jump out into the passing lanes because of how they play. Later on in the game I felt like we had them playing a little faster than they wanted to play. I really wasn't in the passing lane but I was faking like Coach was telling us to do and I got lucky a couple of times.

We can't control who the area loves. We only control what goes on between those white lines.

He's the ugliest cheerleader I've ever seen.

It was kind of funny because he is the ugliest cheerleader I have seen. We are definitely missing Pops on the floor. We are just going to try to keep winning so he can come back and play another one.
