It's a great testament to these guys. We've had a series of close games. The guys kept coming back and tonight got it done. |
It's been a tough opening stretch in the conference. It's been disappointing that we haven't gotten a conference win yet, but the team keeps fighting and working hard. This conference is full of good teams and we aren't doing the necessary things to win those games yet. |
Memphis made the necessary plays in the second half. We now have to get over the hurdle and learn to win games like this. |
Memphis made the necessary shots when they needed to and we might gave gotten a little tired towards the end, which allowed Memphis to make the shots and get the rebounds to win. |
Rick was a great teammate. Rick is doing well. Who knows, maybe he will need an assistant coach one day. |
Sam has done a great job for us this year. He is not playing like a freshman. |
Sam has done a great job for us. There's always that transition period for a player to get adjusted, and Sam has handled it very well. We threw him into the fire, and we couldn't be more pleased with how he has handled it. When you watch him play, you forget he's a freshman. |
The kids didn't fold. We came back and continued to compete. |
There's no in-between - you win or you lose. But if we continue to have that effort, I think good things can happen for this team. |
They took care of the ball well, and their rebounding killed us. |
UTEP is a balanced club and presents a lot of problems. Since they are new to the conference, they may not be as well known in the area, but they are a solid club. |
We are disappointed that we lost but I am proud of the effort the kids gave. I think we are cutting back on our mistakes and progressing each game. |
We are facing a very difficult challenge in UNC Wilmington. We played better in our win against Limestone, but to beat Wilmington we are going to have to play a lot better. |
We are looking forward to (today). We have elected to do it the old fashioned way and really concentrate on fundamentals. Looking at the team statistics last year, one area we really need to continue to improve is shooting. We know that it's never easy when there is a new staff. It's not an easy road. We know there will be some bumps in the road, but you will see a team that will play hard. |
We are looking forward to working hard and having a winning season. This should be an exciting team and brand of basketball. I think we will all have a lot of fun along the way. |
