The second half was pretty much the reverse of the first half. Our screening wasn't as good, we didn't move the ball as well and shot 5-for-20 (from the field). |
The seniors have been real solid as we have been finishing up the year. Our whole team has been focused. |
There were a lot of good things, especially the assists to basket ratio. That's when we're playing our best basketball. But when you have an ending like that, it takes a lot of strength to find the good things. |
These guys don't even know what RPI stands for. |
This historic season was possible because of our team's attitude. This group was selfless to each other. |
Toledo is the hottest team in the league. They have won eight in a row and shoot real well. They are going to be a big challenge. We are going to need a very focused effort. |
We are going to have to contest their shooters and challenge their shots. We'll also need to make sure we take care of the ball and not give them any easy baskets. |
We definitely had a miscommunication. |
We definitely showed a lot of character and heart to come back the way we did. In the first half we dug a very deep hole with Toledo's pressure defense and 14 turnovers. |
We definitely showed a lot of character and resiliency to come back. But Toledo's pressure defense put us in a big hole in the first half. We had 14 turnovers in the first half and we finished the game with 16. That's why we fell so far behind and that's why we were able to come back. |
We feel bad for Ben because his consistent play has been a real benefit to our team the last several games. It's unfortunate, but we're hopeful that he'll recover quickly. |
We had 44 points in the paint ? that's a great statistic to see. [Central] is a pressure-defense team, and it's tough to attack them from the outside. We had to find a way to get the ball into the post by passing or penetrating, and I think we were successful in that. |
We had a fantastic effort in the second half and we fought hard just to come back. Toledo put on a lot of pressure in the first half, but we were able to cut down our turnovers in the second, which has been a key factor for us all year. |
We had done well in the turnover department. We had 10 or less in the last three games, but the first half made the difference. We had to continually try to come back. |
We have to prevent Youngblood from rebounding on the offensive boards. He gets to a lot of loose balls, and we need to play better on-the-ball defense against him. |
