There are a lot of big guys in this league, and Bas will help us. We need someone who can come in and compete against these guys. |
There were a lot of people who didn't expect many things from us this year because we lost three top scorers. But this team plays hard and wants to be successful. We just need to get back to where we started conference play. |
There's probably about a generation and a half that have not had, by any standards we consider, an education. |
There's so much parity in our league, you never know what's gonna happen. |
They cut into our lead in the second half, but that was probably my fault. I thought we were tentative and we didn't push the ball as much. |
They got open threes and they knocked them down. That's why they made a game of it. |
This is a wonderful opportunity that we have here. |
This next game is the most important for us for a number of reasons. We have lost three in a row. This is an important home game, and we are only three games out of first place. |
This town isn't big enough for both of us. |
This was a big game for us because they are our in-state rival. It also was a TV game, so who wouldn't be up for playing on TV? |
This was a huge confidence booster for us. We ended the three-game losing streak which included two heart-breaking one-point losses. We were desperate for a win. But we also knew Central Connecticut State would be tough mentally. They were. I just think we made some key rebounds and made some foul shots when we needed to. |
This was an exciting game. We just didn't finish out the game. We had a lead and did not do what we needed to do to win it. |
This young team is playing with a chip on their shoulders because they were picked to finish 10th in the league. But they played with confidence against a hot Wagner team. |
Those four guys are the foundation for this team, and I wanted to make sure we were all on the same page. They needed to be reminded of my expectations. They are the spokesmen for this team. |
We can't worry about this being our best home record or best conference record, or any of that. I am pleased we are 5-0 and not 0-5, but we just have to worry about the next game because we have 13 more games to play. Five wins doesn't get you into the (NCAA) Tournament. We can't get complacent. |
