Rodney Carney Quotes (24 Quotes)


    It's real hurtful right now. I'm going back home anyway, but not in the Final Four, not in the way I wanted to go.

    The chemistry is here. I hope we continue this because it's been a really fun season.

    If we can win this, we'll be remembered forever. We can give people joy they'll have for the rest of their lives.

    This is a dream senior year for any college player. I thought about the NBA, but I wanted to win and I wanted to improve on where I left off as a junior.

    We've concentrated on getting better as a team, getting the chemistry better. As the season progressed, we became a better team.


    We love each other. We're looking forward to playing with each other. The chemistry is great, and it's better than it's ever been.

    We can't look at it that way. To play those teams, we first have to take care of business in Dallas.

    I like the open court and I like to drive to the hole and dunk on people. This style of play really helps me do that.

    The transition from last year has been a real fun time. We hope we can continue this season.

    All the analysts said we'd be the first No. 1 seed out. We've got a long way to go and we can't worry about that. We have to get ready to play.

    If we can sub four in and not miss a beat, that says something about our team. Once they are wearing down, they might have one or two new people. We can sub four more and keep the same intensity. That really wears teams down.

    It's very hard. You see the score and you want to slack up. But you can't because Cal is on the sideline getting after you. He wants the intensity up at all times. I can see why, but it's pretty hard to stay focused.

    We have a great team, we continue to play well and continue to take advantage. It's been a dream season. Hopefully we can finish it off.

    They're not freshmen out there. They've really played wonderful. I take my hat off to them.

    At this point in the year, I'm really in a groove. I'm coming out playing great defense and knocking down easy shots. We're so talented and so deep that we don't know if that's the best we can play. We might have just scratched the surface.

    We've never been like this. The guys, we're all happy with each other, and we love being around each other, to come to practice. I couldn't say that about us a couple of years ago.

    No one really looked at me. I took it to heart. I worked hard in the gym. I came to Memphis, and I progressed. It's a great feeling looking back and saying, 'You all didn't want me. But now I'm in Memphis, and we're doing good.

    Even though their height wasn't 6-9, 6-7, they played hard. Their guards shot the ball well and they got the big men the ball. They're a good all-around team.

    I couldn't live here. The real estate is too high.

    Every game, you've got to focus. We watch games and see the intensity. We've seen upsets. Having the extra day to watch, that prepared us better for what we had to go through. We prepared and came away with a great win.

    Gonzaga and Duke are built so that they need them to score a ton of points. But with me, my team's so deep, I don't need to play 30, 35 minutes to win. I can play 25, maybe 20, and we'll still win.

    Early, they came out with great intensity, and they really put us in the hole. I knew things would calm down, and we would come back like we always do.

    We're so talented, so deep, we may not have even scratched the surface of how much we can get done, what we're capable of.

    It's kind of hectic. You really have to slow down and look for your teammates. You can't be out of control out there. If you are out of control, they are going to strip the ball from you, steal it and take charges.
