QUOTES OF THE DAY
Forward Jeffery Taylor on his success from three-point range: Source: The Tennessean
"I always had a pretty good-looking shot and a good release. It was more about the repetition and getting it into my head that I can shoots 3s, and that I can be good at it."

"As a matter of fact, I'm not even sure we played well down there. We played hard, though. I really respected our team's effort and our team's toughness and the effort they gave in those games. In terms of playing well, I can't say that we played well and maybe that is a good thing. Maybe to go down and have some success and not play your best is OK."

"He's had as much impact on our program as anyone. I think what D.J. has done with these kids is far-reaching. He's kept them healthy, he's made each one of them better You look at the kids, the pitchers specifically, that have come out of our program, being able to pitch at the next level--it goes without saying . . . We would not have our success without having him on our staff."
