The most aggressive team won tonight. It is disappointing for all of us; we should be winning games at home. |
Their offensive rebounds were the back-breaker. You have to give Slaughter great credit. (SDSU) is an extremely talented team and you can't give away so many possessions to them without bad things happening. |
There's nothing that substitutes for winning. Hopefully, it will give us a little confidence, because this team has certainly suffered a confidence problem here. |
They made some shots and we didn't tonight. It's disappointing because I thought that we played hard tonight. |
They were attacking the rim, and we weren't. Maybe they thought Justin Williams was going to block every shot or something. |
They've had good teams, good coaches and it's a tough environment. |
They've had positive influences on everybody who's been in our program throughout their careers. They're the epitome of student-athletes, and they'll both be successful in life, whatever they choose to do. |
Walters stepped up for them and made two huge baskets. |
We are typically a good free throw shooting team. It's a different environment and there's a little more pressure. I think our guys will learn from this and respond well heading into (today). |
We came up a little bit short, but I'm proud of our effort. This is not a team that quits. We had our chances; we just didn't get enough stops in the second half. |
We didn't have enough fight. We got in a hole early. |
We didn't stop No. 1 either time. He made huge shots, especially in the game at our place. |
We didn't stop number one, that's Brandon Heath's number, either time. He was the guy who made huge shots. |
We got a lot of input from a lot of scouts, and there are a lot of guys that think highly of him but also believe that he's got a lot of things he needs to improve upon. He's a hard worker. He wants to get better, he wants to continue to grow. |
We had a hard time managing Ainge, he set up a lot of people. He was probably the difference in the game. |
