Dana is such a good ball player. We knew coming in we had to stop him. |
Give it to 15 (Hoyt?s number), Give it to the guy who?s hot, feed the hot hand. Jeff?s been playing very well for us and he has one of the best shots around. |
Give Southington a lot of credit. Offensively we never got into a rhythm and they did a good job getting on our shooters. |
He was dominating. With him on the bench it opened up other things for us ..We tried to put as many [defenders] around him as possible. |
I don't know if we really deserved to win this game the way we played down the stretch. |
I had a lot of confidence in these guys. I knew once we turned the corner it was a very good basketball team. |
It's a huge honor to be in the CCC tournament for a second year in a row. |
Jeff might have been forcing the issue a little bit [in the first half], but once he let things come to him a little bit, we did a better job setting some screens and getting him open against the zone. He's one of the best shooters around and he came up big for us in the second half. |
That's what we want. We obviously want the ball in his hands at the end of the game. He's such a competitor. It wasn't one of his better nights, but there is not a better person to have the ball. |
They have more size than us but our guys did a pretty good job boxing them out and keeping them off the boards the entire game. ... [Baskerville] is just such a big kid and he jumps through the roof. He's very athletic. Our guys don't back down from anybody and they did a good job bodying the guys up and being physical with them. Unfortunately, it's hard to keep a good athlete like that down. |
They helped build the foundation of this program. |
We did a good job at keeping competitive. We hit a couple shots and they missed a couple free throws. Give credit to our kids for never quitting. |
We?re playing very well right now and we?re starting to get hot. |
We've got a lot of guys that step up in different situations. It's not all about one or two guys. |
Whatever Austin does we live or die by it. He?s carried us a lot. |
