Head Coach Gary Williams Quotes - Monday, Jan. 26

On the Boston College Eagles:

"It's been an interesting season for them. They beat the No. 1 team in the country [North Carolina] on their court. Then they lost to Harvard and went through a couple of tough ones after that. But they've won their last two, so it looks like they've got some of their confidence back at this point."

On Boston College guard Tyrese Rice:

"I think (Tyrese) Rice, maybe because he's in a pro town or something, he doesn't get the credit that he would if he were playing somewhere else that was an isolated campus. He's been, and is, one of the top players in the league, without a doubt. What I like about him is that he seems to get everyone involved early in the game. Then he looks at what's needed, and if it's scoring or getting the ball to whoever is hot, he seems to be able to do that. He's a really good player."

On where Maryland stands in the Atlantic Coast Conference:

"We're 2-3 right now. We lost to the No. 1 team in the country on their court, we lost in overtime and we lost by two points for our three losses. I'd rather have won two of those three games, but it's not like we played poorly until the Duke game Saturday. We played pretty well, I thought, the first two road games in the conference."

On freshman center Steve Goins:

"I thought Steve Goins came in at a time where it had nothing to do with whether we won the game or not, but I thought he did okay when he was out there, which was good to see. Any minutes we can get from other people is always good, especially this time of year. It just makes you a little deeper, and hopefully that'll work."

On sophomore forward/center Jerome Burney:

"He's practicing and he could play. We could throw him in there tomorrow night. [Conditioning] would be the biggest problem - how long he could go. Mentally, when you have a foot injury, when you jump you don't want to be thinking about how you're going to come down. Hopefully he can help us at time goes by."

On how his team is approaching Tuesday's game against Boston College:

"Our job after a game like that is to get back up and practice well the two days we've had to practice. We only get two days to get ready, so we have to really focus on Boston College and not dwell on what happened in that game."
