NCAA Tournament Q&A
Dee Bost, Fr, G, Misssissppi Si
Q: You lost 5 of 6 games in February, then won 6 in a row in March: what
caused the change?
A: We just came together as a team at the right time.
Q: How did you win 4 games in 4 days at the SEC tourney?

was great to make the NCAA tourney.
Q: How did you lead team with 10 rebounds vs. South Carolina in the SEC
quarterfinals?

A: It was a tough season, so I think so.
Q: What do you know about Washington?

Brockman).
Q: Why did you choose to go to Mississippi State?
A: They said I could get a lot of playing time as a freshman, and I
have.
Q: Was it hard to lead the team as a freshman point guard, especially
after losing 3 starters from last year?
A: I just had to learn my role and figure out what I needed to do.
Q: Why do you like playing for Coach Stansbury?
A: He knows what he’s doing, and he is not too hard on us about running
specific sets.
Q: Do you think your team is built to win now, or are you 1 year away?
A: We want to win right now.
Q: You won a high school state football title: are you a better quarter
back or point guard?
A: (After a long pause) Point guard.
