Coach Larry Brown:
-We are trying to get more people involved, especially Cunningham and Emogolu.
-ECU coach told Coach Brown they are the best passing team they've played against outside of North Carolina
-Ben Moore has been struggling, we had a long talk about that after the game.
-Ryan Manuel's growth is getting better and better.
-Ben Moore's versatility complimenting Markus Kennedy's comeback in the post
-Markus Kennedy doesn't want to start, is comfortable coming off the bench right now
-Ben Moore has been tentative on the road, adjusted well today in the second half.
-What's holding Emologu back right now? He cares "maybe too much" and is pressuring himself too much
-Surprised Wilfong dunked but said "he's better than people think. We may have to use him..."
Sterling Brown:
-On and off the floor, team chemistry is constantly improving
-Loved Wilfong's dunk, he's a fan favorite
-On 21 assists, we were doing what we usually do, just knocked down more shots today
Ryan Manuel:
-Going back to the basics- emphasizing defense and rebounding and we've dramatically improved
-Everyone has to step up right now
Both players really emphasized rebounding and defense over and over.
Other notes:
-Sterling Brown started in Keith Frazier's absence tonight. He had 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists. This was his second start of the season, his other vs Indiana earlier in the year. With this type of performance, look for Coach Larry Brown to keep that same starting lineup next week.
-SMU off to best start in conference play (5-1) since 2001-02 (5-1 in WAC)
