Postgame Quotes: Wisconsin vs. St. Francis Brooklyn

Nov. 9, 2021
Kohl Center  |  Madison, Wis.

Wisconsin Head Coach Greg Gard

"Good to get the regular season off and running. It's good to be back in front of fans, I thought our players did a lot of good things, things we'll continue to work on and get better at as we should this early in the year. I really appreciate how hard they played, I thought we did a lot of good things in spurts and as for early or mid-November there's a lot of things we need to improve upon which we're excited to get back and go back to work tomorrow."

"Everybody talks about the synergy and cohesion that has to happen offensively, it obviously has to happen defensively too and I've said before that I felt we're further ahead down the road defensively than we are offensively. Now we gotta continue to sustain it that way for longer periods of time and extend that."

"We want to be aggressive but we want to be intelligent with it. If we can, turn the tables quick and get down the floor. Because we're gonna see a lot of really good defense and if you can get a good look before they get set that plays in your advantage."

Sophomore guard Johnny Davis

"I thought we played really well...Obviously there's some stuff we have to work on, but I thought we did pretty good."

"Now that we have Chucky (Hepburn) here we have a little bit more athleticism and quickness in the backcourt."

"I thought we shot the ball pretty good tonight and shared it really well. Defensively I think we gave up too many points in the paint and easy transition buckets so defense is the main focus for this week."

Freshman Guard Chucky Hepburn

""I think I came in ready to start for the Badgers but I gotta work on some things defensively and offensively. The last two turnovers I had, I probably shouldn't have had them. Just mental things, I gotta get better at that."
