He was a main focus for us on defense. We made it a point to stop him and slow him down. We wanted to keep it tight and play solid, disciplined defense on him. |
I guess it was just hard to get into the rhythm and flow of the game. (Kent State) did a real good job defensively. I probably had a hard time relaxing in the first half. |
I was just trying to stay in front of him and use my lift to contest him. I didn't think I did that good of a job, because I fouled out. |
It's a mindset. Once the ball goes up, we block out or man and go for the ball. Defense and rebounding are two key things we talk about before every game. |
This was a very crucial game. It's been a tough week, and we kept gutting it out and playing hard in practice, and we had confidence we could come out here and play to our potential. |
We beat them pretty good the first two times, but this is the one that counts. |
We were just loose today. We went out to play and to have fun. |
