TicketsThe ninth episode of BEARCATS TV's "The Journey" spotlights to unity shared among players this season, a key component that plays an important part in building a successful squad.
"We've been lucky in recruiting. You're trying to get a certain type of guy that fits a profile of a guy that wants to get better."
- UC head coach Mick Cronin
"We have a great group of players in terms of talent, but maybe they exceed their talent in the kind of people that they are. They're generally a group that's not selfish. They want to win first and foremost."
- Associate head coach Larry Davis
"Every guy is rooting for the other guy to do well even though they are all in competition for the same thing which is playing time. There is fine line there but our guys get it. They understand."
- Assistant coach Antwon Jackson
"There's no negativity in our circle because we don't allow that. We try to make sure that everybody knows we're in this together. We're family."
- UC center Nysier Brooks
"It's a brotherhood. Like last year, we didn't take any steps behind. The freshmen came in and (now) they're like our little brothers. When you got a team like that we feel like nobody can beat us and that nobody can stop us."
- UC guard Cane Broome
"This team has a lot of talent and (when) you put talent with all those attributes that we want our team to be then you're going to have great success."
- UC assistant coach Darren Savino
