Going into the game, you have to kind of hope that with them traveling and being in a new facility, that they would come out flat. But we were the ones that just didn't bring our game legs right away. |
He's a senior and he didn't want to quit. Forrest plays hard. A lot of people don't know he has had a bad knee all year ... He never sat out a practice, never sat out a game. He's a tough-nosed player. He's been a three-year starter. We're definitely going to miss his leadership out there. |
They are just a very solid team. You've got to tip your hat to the players, to their coaches. They're very well coached and well behaved on the floor. |
They were really getting a push up the floor. When they pushed the ball in the first quarter, we didn't seem to be able to combat that . . .cold shooting on our part, and when they were scoring that way, that made trouble for us. |
We needed to be a little more patient on offense, sometimes I think we rushed our shots. |
We needed to make adjustments as far as attacking the basket more. There's no such thing as a 10-point basket, so we needed to nip away at it a little bit. |
When I was trying to come up with a game plan by talking to other coaches, I asked 'What, if any, are their weaknesses,' and nobody could give me one. They're such a solid ball club. |
When your perimeter shots aren't falling, you've got to attack the basket. We wanted to try to pound the ball inside. |
