SENIOR F JEREMIAH MASSEY
On his 32-point performance...
“I just came out and tried to play aggressive. The ball was falling tonight. I was trying to post a little bit deeper. Coach Wooldridge said (
On this being the best 40 minutes the team has played so far...
“I would have to say it is (the best we’ve played).
On scoring 40 points in junior college ...
“In junior college I had a couple 40-point games. Actually, 42 ... three times.”
On the team so far this season...
“Right now, we’re not that good. We’ve got a long way to go. We’ll keep working hard. We need to get a lot better than we are now. We have a good team, but we can be a lot better.”
SENIOR F JUSTIN WILLIAMS
On what he brought to the floor...
“In the first half, I just had to bring energy to the floor. Marques (Hayden) kind of got off to a slow start. Coach has been trusting me these last couple of practices. My main thing was to try to stop those post players. That was my goal, and I think that’s what got me going tonight.”
On Jeremiah Massey’s big game...
“I had no idea that he was playing the way he was playing. I looked up and he had 30 (points). It’s great to have him back. We definitely have to have him get more rebounds. He only had three.”
On his role...
“Energy, rebounding and defense. That’s it. I don’t look at myself as being a big offensive threat, but I try to score when I can. Coach gives some leeway to shoot my little 15-foot jumper. But basically, (my role is) defense.”
FRESHMAN G CLENT STEWART
On Jeremiah Massey’s big night...
“Phenomenal that’s one word. He did everything that Coach wanted him to do. He had a low-post presence in his game, and he made some good passes out of the post as well. He was posting a lot harder, and anytime he posts hard, we can get the ball to him. He’s got good hands.”
On being undefeated in November and December...
“It’s big. Coach told us that this is the first time since 1947 that K-State has been undefeated in November and December.
