Cougars in Denver

DENVER -- BYU men's basketball addressed the media and practiced at the Pepsi Center on Wednesday in preparation for its matchup with Wofford in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The No. 3 seed Cougars face the No. 14 seed Terriers on Thursday at 5:15 p.m. MT on CBS.

See quotes from Jimmer Fredette, Jackson Emery and Coach Dave Rose below:

Fredette on bouncing back from a loss:

"You just have to go out and play. We've been a good team since I've been here and since Jackson has been here. After we lose a game, we come back and win the next one. We've been good at that during Coach Rose's era. I think we're going to come out, play well and play hard."

Fredette on having big games, including 52 against New Mexico:

"You never know what's gonna happen. But the main thing is that we go out there and win. Whatever I have to do in order for us to do that, that's what I'm going to try to do, whether it's score the basketball, distribute, play defense. Whatever it is that we need, I'm just going to go out there and try to do it."

"It's our last run. It's my last time here with Jackson and our team. I'm just going to leave everything out on the floor and hopefully I'll be able to play and score the basketball and be aggressive like always."

Emery on defending Wofford:

"They're an excellent shooting team, I think top 10 in the nation field goal percentage wise. The biggest thing we have to do is we can't give them open shots, open looks. We have to attack them. Every basket they get, they earn it. We can't give them any easy looks at the basket, whether it's from the three point outer core or easy layups at the basket. Make them earn everything they get."

Emery on rebounding and transition offense:

"It (rebounding) will be really important. That's our style. That's the tempo we like to play at. When we don't play an up tempo style, we don't feel as comfortable. We really want to impose our will on the teams we play, first off with Wofford."

"We know they're a great team, very efficient. We're going to have to really run and play hard because that's the way we like to play. That's the style that we feel most comfortable with."

Rose on being at the tournament and playing Wofford:

"We're excited to be here. This is where our team wanted to be when we started the season, in the NCAA tournament. I think that anytime you have an opportunity to play in your area, your part of the country, that's exciting."

"We look forward to a great matchup with Wofford. It's a team that is playing really well the last three or four weeks. They've been terrific. They're extremely well coached. It's a team that is really efficient. They don't beat themselves. They've been very, very successful. It's a senior ladened team with a lot of experience. We look forward to the game."
