A Central Connecticut player would not have done that. I did not shake his hand. I shook everyone else's. |
A tremendous inside player. When he gets the ball, he can score in a variety of ways. He can take you outside and shoot a 3. He can face-up on the block. Then he's good around the hole. He's a very good player. |
Defensively, he used to be awful. He?d get beat on backdoors ... he?s doing a better job on screens. Now he?s not getting beat off the dribble very much. He?s containing his man. He?s more aware of the value of defense. |
Every game is a must game. That?s how we look at it. It would be tremendous (to start 3-0), but we don?t look at it as a two-game set. We won?t talk about Sacred Heart until we get back from LIU. We need to be as prepared as we possibly can be because I believe it?s more challenging on the road. |
For whatever reason we don?t seem to shoot a very high percentage from 3-point land (against Monmouth) which has been our strength this year. Maybe it?s a little more patience, maybe it?s a little more movement of the players. If we don?t move and we don?t try and penetrate then we stand still and it?s very easy for our players to be guarded ..We need some body movement and some ball movement to have a chance to beat them on Sunday. |
Frye must have taken a speed course this summer. He can put it in another gear. |
Give credit to Monmouth. The last couple of years they have outmatched us. |
He may have been just overexcited for the Quinnipiac game. We expect him to practice [today]. |
He was on a roll. Probably thought he could make 30-footers. Maybe he would have. |
I think now he?s getting rewarded for all the time he spent this summer working out. He?s in great shape. |
I think now we can just focus in on league play. I think this is the time of year when everyone in college basketball raises their level of intensity a notch or two. |
I think the last couple of games people who haven?t scored that much have been just as valuable as the people who have scored. |
I think we?re showing some signs of being a pretty good team at the right time of the year. We have some home games coming up and we have to roll the dice and see what that in the tournament. |
I thought Lenny took him out of his game. He took half the shots [seven] he normally takes [13]. |
I thought we got out and ran when we had to. We beat them down the floor at times and got some easy baskets when they were necessary. |
