Anytime you hold a team to 42 points, you have to be pleased. |
Every time they needed to hit a shot, they hit a shot and every time they needed to come up with a loose ball, they came up with a loose ball. We just played from behind the whole game. |
Every year there's always going to be some team that you have a challenge beating them. This year was Howard. We hope other years that's the exception. |
He comes from a really tough background as far as growing up in Brooklyn and he's helped really helped our team by being someone who can go and get a tough basket or a rebound. We're going to need him to be successful at the regional tournament. |
He had a lot of trust in coach Linder, and in that level he can have an opportunity to have an immediate impact. |
He's a big-time motor. He's a tough winner. He plays extremely hard all the time. The best compliment I could give him is that he does whatever it takes to win, whether it's making the extra pass, hitting a big basket or getting the tough rebound. |
He's a sophomore who understands what this is about. It's about doing whatever it takes to help the team win. He's been our team leader on and off the court for two years and he's the heart and soul of this team. |
He's extremely competitive, he's tough, he plays hard all the time and really has a chance to be an outstanding basketball player for us and be a force inside as he learns to play more consistent. He's done a better job than most (foreign players) because physically he was more prepared. |
He's got a good family and they were real appreciative of the people of Midland, who helped them out. |
His play won't show up on the stat sheet but Jordan did a good job of guarding and rebounding. Jordan played about 25 minutes and really gave us a spark tonight. |
Honestly, I just thought we ran out of gas. We didn't look like we had any energy in the second half. That's very disappointing. In the second half we just tanked it. You have to give (the Hawks) a lot of credit because they just took it at us. |
Hopefully we'll learn from this and get better. You've got to make free throws to close out games and we didn't do that. We make some more free throws and don't turn the ball over, we win the game by a lot more than we did. |
I love they way (the Wranglers) guard. They made it hard on us all night long. They're a tough team and they're going to win some games in this conference. They're not done. |
I owe him all the credit for what we've done here. He's an exceptional coach and he's got a great opportunity. I want everyone to know that I think he was the best junior college assistant coach in the country and I appreciated all of his hard work. |
I thought Jordan (Coffman) stepped up early and hit a big shot, Kyle (Victoria) hit a couple of timely 3s and so did Timmy (Crowell). It kind of kept (OC) from completely suffocating the paint. It was also big that Davis was the X-factor with his energy and aggressive play on the offensive end. |
