The familiarity, the routine, you don't have that on the road. We've done a good job [7-3] at home. We need that now on the road. |
The key was to try to smother Vinson. |
There was a time when he was thinking offense, offense, offense. Now he understands the value of defense and he?s one of our better defenders. |
They are a good-shooting team. They have an inside-outside game. They have five starters who can shoot the three, and that's kind of unique when you think about it. They have five 3-point threats. |
They got quite a few points in limited attempts, they made free throws, they got rebounds and they defended pretty well. That?s what you would like them to do as players coming off the bench. |
They run more plays than the (Detroit) Pistons. There is no way we could work on defending all those plays. They have plays to get certain people open at certain times, and they run them all so well. |
They?re very athletic so we have to make sure we score a lot of points. Somehow we need to defend and keep them in the 60s somewhere and try to outscore them. They?re an offensive team, and they will present a lot of problems for us. |
We couldn't score, and you have to credit Monmouth for a lot of that. They took away our inside game, and our defense wasn't sharp at all. |
We didn't do the things that we had done well. |
We dug ourselves too big a hole. We weren't able to score and played sloppy. Robert Morris is a very good defensive team. |
We got an outstanding performance from Lenny Jefferson, who lit it up early. |
We got slapped around at Monmouth. We've played some great minutes and some bad minutes this season. I really don't know how good we are. We'll see on the road how we respond from the Monmouth experience. |
We have a collection of players who just work hard. There are no stars on this team. |
We have no stars on this team, just a bunch of workers. |
We were able to limit them to one shot. We made them a perimeter team. We made them shoot from the perimeter. I can?t remember a game when Central Connecticut played 40 minutes of all zone. I just can?t remember us doing that, playing straight 2-3. |
