They need Gerry out there to do their best, I assume. |
They played harder and much, much, much, much smarter. That's where I thought we'd really improved, but we took a lot of steps back tonight. |
They shoot threes better than we shoot foul shots. |
They're the toughest team ... toughest team I've ever seen. Not close, and I've been around some tough teams. Really tough. Really tough. |
They've got a really good team, and it's a really good home-court advantage. I take my hat off to the toughness of our team. It was a great win. |
This was a really, really tough loss for us. Both teams played hard enough to win. There wasn't a great deal of offense on either side; you credit the defenses, but it's a tough one. |
Today was one of those magical days where everything went right for us. |
We always try to push the ball. Sometimes we just have a little more success than we do at other times. |
We are worthy of playing in the tournament, but I am not politicking. We have to do more to get that chance, though. |
We barely hung on. They fought hard. |
We came out and made a bunch of shots early and got a little confidence. It's a great win for us. |
We couldn't get the ball to the basket because of athletic ability, couldn't finish enough plays, couldn't get to the foul line quite as much as they did. |
We couldn't make any baskets (and) couldn't get any defensive rebounds. They took advantage of it. They made a lot of offensive rebound baskets on us. We couldn't get over the hump. |
We got a good whipping tonight. They played harder than us. They played much, much, much smarter than us. Give them all the credit. We took a step backwards tonight. |
We got a little bit better in the second half. We got the ball moving and tried to attack inside. It's the way we have to play, and it's the reason we had a chance. |
