Oregon - Mississippi Valley State postgame quotes
12/17/09 | Men's Basketball
Oregon 71, Mississippi Valley State 59
Dec. 16, 2009
Ernie Kent – Head Coach
On academic integrity: “The integrity of our athletic program lies on our academics. Teondre and LeKendric have lost their starting spots. They will not start again until I feel comfortable that they know their academic responsibilities.”
On the game: “Drew shot the ball well, Jamil played well. It gives us more weapons against teams that want to “zone” us.”
“Jamil was so used to bringing the ball down the floor, we've really been on him to get out and run lanes.”
On playing without TP and Joevan: “Without TP and Joevan, we did not handle it well at Missouri. But other than that I think they've played well. It's important that they have some success because they've been working so hard without them.”

Garrett Sim – So., G
On Starting: “It was a comforting feeling. We had a couple guys not taking care of responsibilities. I just wanted to take advantage.”
On his shot: “Just recently I've been more relaxed shooting the ball. I think it's just a confidence thing.”
“When you know you've made 200 hundred shots already today and you get an open look in the game, you know you're probably going to make it.”
On playing Oakland Saturday: “We've got a tough opponent in Oakland whose beat us the last two years. We're going to be ready to get after it. They're going to be hungry coming in here.”
