They are tough. They do things that championship teams have to do. They defend, they are tough and they share the ball. We have a long way to go. We are trying to rebuild a basketball program and it's going to take some time, but there is no doubt in my mind that we are eventually going to be a good basketball program again. |
This is a tough loss for our program, but not an embarrassing loss. Our kids can hold their heads high. We head into the playoffs feeling we are playing better than a week ago. |
This was not the brand of basketball we want to play. We did not have enough possessions running off defensive rebounds. I also was not pleased with our communication tonight. We still don't understand the power of togetherness. |
We can't afford to start a game not sharp. Our offensive energy needs to be higher. Holy Cross had a lot to do with that. They are a physical team that plays great defense. |
We definitely have our work cut out for us. Beating Holy Cross on its home floor in a tournament atmosphere will be a real challenge. |
We lost to a great team having a great year. Lehigh is a club that follows its coach's game plan and looks to execute. I think they're tremendous, good enough to win the league. |
We started off great, but we couldn't stay consistent. We go through droughts because we're still a young team trying to figure out how to score against tough defense. Even though we were ahead, I didn't like the flow of the game. We were trading baskets with Lehigh and you can't do that. I knew we needed to clamp down. |
We're a young, inexperienced team and program. One of the things you have to guard against when things start going well is thinking offense first. We got up 10-2 and apparently thought it was going to be easy. We completely forgot what's gotten us here, and that's our defense. |
We're not trying to duck anybody. |
