Carrier Dome, Syracuse, N.Y.
On the play of Hakim Warrick:
"It was fortunate that Hakim was able to get it going today and when they tried to doubleteam him he got the open guy. He made several big plays. Hakim helped us win today's game. Without him we would have had a 10-point loss. "
On the lack of offense:
"We are really struggling on offense and are trying to figure out where we can go. We are a little out of sync on offense. Guys are going to always be all over Gerry so we need to move more and stand less. Offense will continue to be a problem for us unless we get some continuity in what we are doing."
On Syracuse's freshmen:
"I thought it was really good for us when Demetris made the three pointer. That was a great play for Demetris. I also thought Terrence began to move better. We've got really good freshmen who just aren't ready yet but need to get ready before the year is over."
On Craig Forth:
"Craig provides something for this team that people don’t always understand. He gets out and screens, gets people open, comes to the high post when we need him and the other centers don't do that for us."
On redeeming themselves:
"These last two games have helped us in knowing what we need to work on and we know that December will be our month to do a lot of work. We're going to struggle, but I have faith in the fact that we will get better."
On college basketball:
"If anyone pays attention to college basketball then they will know that anyone can get beat."
