If we don?t match their intensity and how hard they play, it?s going to be very tough to win the game. |
It's been a difficult stretch for us. We're young, we've been beaten around, and we've played 10 of our first 12 games on the road. |
Just a tremendous win for our kids and our program. |
Physically, he?s playing out of position. He has a three-man?s body trying to play the four at this level. |
The ?and-one? was huge. Thank God we don?t play on TV. |
The first 10 minutes, I think we were a little too selfish on offense. |
There's a new NCAA rule in Division 1. In the academic year it used to be two assistants on the road and now it's three. All the three of our guys, their primary role will be recruiting. |
These guys have done this all year. We've seen it a lot in the last month and a half. They're resilient, they keep fighting. |
These kids know the deal. They know the standings. They look at the stuff on the Internet. But I don?t want to jam it down their throats. |
They have a lot of weapons, and you really have to pick your poison defensively. You can play man, but they're very patient in their offense and take you to the basket. Then, when you play zone, they spread you out and kill you with 3-pointers. |
They kept going wherever they wanted to go on offense. Switching to zone kind of saves us in the first half, but we kept shooting ourselves in the foot, throwing it away and turning it over. |
We got beat by a much better basketball team today. Albany has great pieces. They just have a lot of weapons. |
We got beat by a much better basketball team today. They had a lot to do with how we played. |
We hit some timely shots. Every time Dartmouth made a run at us we seemed to make a big three. |
We hung in there for about the first 10 minutes but then(State) made a big run. They are very efficient on the offensive end of the floor and they defend so well. |
