Capel's opening statement
All quotes
“It is nice to come in here with a win. I thought we did some good stuff. I thought our defensive effort the last about 10 or 12 minuets of the first half was about as good as we have had all year. We were very active, getting our hands on balls, getting deflections, and we took two charges down that stretch. We had them stuck on 17 points for a while. So I was really pleased with that. I thought we had some opportunities there in the first half to really expand the lead a little bit further, but we didn’t make some good decisions in transition. I thought we left some baskets there. It was good to see Cade [Davis] make some shots. I thought [Andrew] Fitzgerald was really good down low for us again. Those two guys made some big plays down the stretch. Cade was shooting and Fitz was going down low. I thought Steven [Pledger] hit a big three. C.J. [Washington] gave us some good minutes. Cameron [Clark] made some really big drives for us. I am pleased with the win. Again, I thought we did some good things and we look forward to getting back and trying to get better.”
On the team’s competitive drive:
“We have competed all year long. I have told our guys -- I think it was after the Baylor game -- we are not the most talented team. There is not going to be another team in the conference that we are more talented than them. We may be as talented, but we are not going to be more talented. But that does not mean we can’t win. We have to do the things we can control at a very high level every time we step on the floor. If we do that, we will put ourselves in a position where we can have success. Tonight is a good example of that. We didn’t do everything right, but hopefully this gives our guys a little more confidence as we move forward in conference play.”
On his confidence:
“I’m always confident. I believe in me. I believe in us. I believe in what we’re teaching. I believe if our guys buy in, which they have, and I believe if they learn how to do things the right way, then I am confident.”
