Our kids played hard. It was just a battle down to the wire. |
Overall, I thought our kids played very hard. We just didn't have an answer for Fordham. It wasn't like we were out there standing around. |
Pops was really unstoppable. He's a man-child. |
Right now, I don't have an answer. You've got to knock down shots. |
Right now, I'm just trying to win a game. I'm not trying to solve everything. |
Ryan Lambert no longer is on the Duquesne University basketball team. He has been given his unconditional release. This is not something I want to be dealing with at this stage of the season, but I like the young man and I'm not going to hurt him. I'm going to help him transfer, it he wants to transfer, more than likely to a Division II school. |
Since Christmas, we've settled in on a lineup and a rotation. People know their roles. But the competition is going to step up, too. So, we have to get more consistent play from everyone on the floor. |
Some players have really played well some nights. They get double-doubles one game, then we get doughnuts from them. |
Steve Smith is going to get 20 (points) and 10 (rebounds) every night. He can make the other players around him better, and that's what he does. But I don't think it's a one-man team anymore. |
Steven Smith is just a superstar. He's the total package. |
Teary-eyed. It hurts, like ripping your heart out. |
That bothers me. I can understand Roberts scoring. He's a great player. But we were getting hurt by a lot of people. |
That just took an eight-point lead and cut it in half. The momentum changed the other way. |
That was a killer. He's the only guy we have that can score on the inside. We don't have any presence without him. |
That was as good a half of basketball, offensively and defensively, that we've played all season. |
