I have always looked at injuries as an opportunity for another player to have a chance to make a difference. Dealing with injuries is part of coaching. You learn that right away when you take over. I am sure Brian (Nash) is finding out about dealing with injuries, too.

I knew it was going to be a close game because you have two good undersized teams who try to out-scrap each other. We didn't always play well but we played hard and we made plays when we had to.

I know we have struggled on the road. But many of those losses were by a few points. We have turned the ball over too much on the road and lost leads. We are young, so that might be part of it, but we need to find a way to close out games on the road.

I think for a young guy like Colson, coming off the bench, there is less pressure. You get to see what is going on and then can come in and give us a jump start which he has done. I tell him all the time that you don't have to score a lot to have an impact on the game.

I think it took us a while to get going partly because of the layoff and partly because of what St. Francis did. I am pleased we found a way to win. We made some big plays at the end.

I think this is the toughest tournament in the history of Colorado. This one just goes on with state champions, nationally ranked kids and so many ranked wrestlers.
|
I think we got the line a lot more than we have been. We played more aggressively.

I thought he was the difference in the game. He got rebounds. He defended. He gave us energy. He only played 13 minutes, but they were 13 big minutes. He did a terrific job.

I thought we played really well in the first half after a disappointing loss [at Wagner]. I thought we responded real well.
|
I'm really proud of our team. Our team is really coming together. We're a very young team, but we're gaining experience quickly.
|
I'm very concerned about the loss of our industrial base.

If somebody told me that two days ago, let's play a game for 11 minutes, and you get a four-point lead, I'd grab that one.
|
In terms of effort, it was there. In terms of execution, it wasn't. Too many turnovers. Too many breakdowns. We had them on the ropes. We just couldn't finish.
|
In this league, you have to handle runs. You've got to find a way to win.

It is a little harder now, because every coach knows about players, and there aren't many gems who get overlooked. But this game was a perfect opportunity to see what other players could do. It is nice to see these guys get rewarded with playing time.
