“Those guys really work hard in practice and just to give them any kind of time is a reward for them and gives them some experience they’re going to need as we go forward.” - Mark Schmidt on putting his bench players in late against Fordham and then putting the starters back in after their 25 point lead was cut in half.

 

 

“If he makes a mistake, he always says, ‘I’ll make it up. You take the good with the bad at this point. He’s learning. It’s never for a lack of trying or effort. He’s trying sometimes almost too hard. He wants to do good for his teammates. He just gets wound up. He usually does make up.” - Travis Ford on Jordan Nesbitt.
