Quincy Douby Quotes (23 Quotes)


    It was kind of funny because I'm not even thinking about none of that. I'm going to come back for my last year and just make the best out of it. After the season, I'll sit down and think about it, but right now we got one more game and hopefully we can make the Big East Tournament, get an NIT bid and keep playing.

    I definitely have to (take over) at that point. I'm the leader of this team. It was time for me to step up.

    We just want to play basketball. I don't see it as a distraction. I know you (media) guys are looking at it that way.

    Whatever happened up there, that had nothing to do with the players, but we feel for him, he's a good guy, a good coach, he taught us a lot. That's a decision the office made, that's not the players' decision. It is hard, but I'm going to make sure it isn't a distraction.

    I definitely feel like we let one get away. I feel we had an opportunity to win all our (Big East) games. We should be 5-0, in my opinion, but we just didn't execute in the final minutes. I felt they did a better job than us at it (executing).


    I was hoping, but politics these days, you never know. I thought maybe second team.

    It's definitely a mental thing - you have to do the little things. Especially being away, we have to get to the free throw line, control the tempo and do what we've done.

    He's a big addition to the team, and other people needed to step up. It hurt a lot because Kelly Whitney was guarding him, and with Kelly Whitney I can flash to the paint and kick it to him and it's an open three, but with two big guys down I was caught out there just dribbling.

    It's an opportunity to test stuff out. I need to hear that I'm definitely a first-round pick. If not, I'm coming back to Rutgers.

    It's not a strong chance. I came to get my education and I still have basketball things to get better on. I think I'll be back.

    I kind of figured he wasn't going to be here because when I looked out my window I thought the whole game was going to be canceled. I knew he had went and I knew he was supposed to fly back so it was going to be hard for him to be here.

    I had a real good look and I thought it was good. It just hit the front of the rim and rolled out.

    I wasn't too worried. I knew we had the ability to win because we controlled the game until the last four minutes.

    That says a lot because there were a lot of great players here. For me to be the first one, that's a big accomplishment.

    I am a leader on this team, and I'm the one taking a lot of the big shots in big games. It was my time to step up and take control.

    Guys felt bad for him. Guys were sad. He recruited a lot of these guys here. He's a good guy, a good coach and he taught us a lot. But that's the business part of it and you have to accept it.

    We just don't do good on the road. I have no idea why.

    We're not where we want to be, but we have more games to play. These are games we should have won. But if we keep dwelling on it it's going to affect us the next game.


    We just ignore it all. Nobody pays attention to it. I don't pay attention to it. I'm just in the gym trying to get the job done.

    I was thinking attack the rim, get a bucket and to foul a bad free throw shooter and play by possession. I felt I got fouled, it was a good no-call. You can't call a foul in that situation.

    I knew my points were gonna come because a lot of the games in the season I didn't score until about eight minutes left in the first half. I could score in spurts, so I really didn't let it frustrate me.

    We just didn't have an answer for them down low on the post. We let them isolate us and we couldn't stop them.
