Memphis Head Coach John Calipari
"I saw a lot of good stuff today. Our execution isn't where it needs to be. I'm going to guess we missed nine lay-ups. We scored two points the first six minutes of the second half. Short of that, they are trying to do what I'm asking them to do. You notice we're posting the ball more and we are still driving the ball. We are very aggressive right now."
"Obviously it is not going to be this easy all the time. We give up 23 points to Joah Tucker and he can really play. I just want you to know, this team that you saw, by the end of the season, is going to have 24 or 25 wins. They were a Sweet 16 team last year. They are feeling out a new coach, but they are still going to be outstanding. So, this is a heck of a win for us."
"We did a pretty good job blocking shots, which we hadn't done to this point in the season. The guy that really played well is Antonio Anderson, and you look up and say, `He didn't score a point,' but he played a steady game and did everything right. Without scoring, he played great."
"Shawne (Williams) gave us great post presence. Darius (Washington) played terrific. Rodney (Carney) really shot the ball well and had nine rebounds. He is defending and he is rebounding the ball, which makes him pretty unique."
Wisconsin-Milwaukee Head Coach Rob Jeter
"Memphis is very long and very athletic. They are relentless with their help, and their length will cause a lot of problems for teams."
"When Memphis rotates guys in, their biggest advantage is you see 6-8 and 6-9 players from Memphis, and you think they are post players but they are really wing players. You don't see that very often in teams."
"Memphis covers a lot of ground, and as a team, we will be better after this game for sure."
