To say I'm frustrated would be putting it lightly. We had certain guys play well and certain guys didn't. |
UTEP really played well. They had a lot to do with us not making shots. |
We are very excited that Jarvis is coming to Southern Miss. Jarvis gives us something that we have lacked in that he is a player who can score from a lot of different places on the court. |
We have to get our game onto the court and not play into their hands. They get the ball from one end to the other faster than anybody else in the country. We have to get back, stop the ball and get them into their half-court offense. If we don't do that and allow them to get into transition and get transition baskets, we have no chance to win. If we do stop them, that's the key. We have to get the long rebounds which cost us against Houston. |
We lost the game at the beginning. We got outplayed at the start and could never get back in it. |
We made the plays down the stretch. I thought it was the most mentally tough we played down the stretch all year. |
We played our best game in our last game. We played tough. |
We put more thought in our defense. That led to some easy baskets and that was reflected in the box score. |
We were just one or two plays away from pulling it out. We played well enough to win. |
We will bounce back. It's very frustrating to be in the situation where you can win but can't make the plays. |
We're just not good enough right now from a depth experience. You need to make plays late in the game. We didn't. |
We're obviously not there yet. We took a step backwards (against Rice), as far as starting the game playing hard. It all comes back to me. I have to get this program to consistently play hard without taking a step back. We had it going for four or five games, and then we took a step back. |
We've done a lot of being right there at the end of the game and not being able to finish. We made the plays when we had to and we hadn't been doing that. |
We've done that (jumped to early leads), but then teams bear down on us and that's what Marshall did. We're not ready to win a game like that yet and Marshall made the plays down the stretch. |
What really set us back was that he really showed a lot of leadership, ... Not the talent. The experience and leadership that he was in position to give us. That's where it hurt the most. |
