Maryland Head Coach Gary Williams

On what his team needs to do to be successful against Morgan State:

"I just want to keep playing like we are. We're moving the ball well, and guys are getting good looks. We have good shooters if we can get open looks. It's been our passing that has allowed us to get open looks, and you have to stay after that. That can come and go very quickly, so you just work hard every day in practice at running your offense. I think we've gotten to be a better half-court offensive team as time has gone on."

On forward Dino Gregory's importance against a team like the Bears:

"He's very important to us. He gives us a 6-foot-7, 6-foot-8 athletic player who can rebound. It's big for us tomorrow night. [Morgan State] is ridiculous in terms of their offensive rebounds. They've out-rebounded their opponents offensively by 223 to 153. They're a very good rebounding team, and they're big."

On his team's ability to maintain a one-game-at-a-time approach:

"They've done a good job with that. Each game we've played so far this year, there hasn't been any looking past to the next game. Hopefully that will continue tomorrow night. These guys have been good in terms of trying to figure out what we have to do to win games, and they've worked at it every day. Anything like looking ahead, that takes away from your ability to work hard in practice."

On if guard Sean Mosley is excited to play against an opponent from near his hometown:

"I think he's excited to play. I don't think Sean is the type of guy who needs a local team to get excited. He was excited after the game against Charlotte, during which he really played well. It wasn't just the shots that he made. He played very well offensively and defensively. He brings a lot to a game and a lot to the team with his attitude. He doesn't have any bad days. In other words, when he walks between the lines, no matter what happened during that day, he's ready to go. That's contagious, so it's good to see."

On his team's unselfishness so far this season:

"I just look at this team, and I know what we're doing as a team. We've really worked hard together, we've stayed together and I hopefully that'll continue for the second half of the season. The theme we've had since last spring is that we have to be a team this year. If we're going to be successful, we have to be a team. It's not going to one guy that carries us. It's going to be playing off of each other and helping each other get easy shots."
