BG really came out and came after us, and we didn't handle it very well. There's a reason why they're 17-2. |
I anticipated it being every bit the fight that it was today. |
I certainly felt like our kids did a really nice job of making sure the shooters didn't get good looks. |
I certainly thought we got really good minutes from both of them, and they had to play a lot of minutes for us, Ryan did especially. |
I didn't realize it was six years. That's pretty brutal. |
I don't think we played our best game, but we just found a way to get it done. |
I fully expect every game we play from here on out to be a war and a possession-by-possession game. |
I give Bowling Green credit. I think they're a very, very good basketball team and there's a reason why they're 17-2. They're a great team. |
I give Kent State a lot of credit. Shearer came out and was not gonna lose and those two seniors [Shearer and Malika Willoughby] really stepped it up. |
I hate preparing for them. These guys aren't easy to play against. They've got 100 different defenses, they're scrappy as heck, they got a shooter, and they got a four-guy that can score. |
I think Bowling Green really came out and came after us and we didn't handle that very well. |
I think every kid on our team was in foul trouble. That was disappointing. |
I think Ryan and Nikki (Knapp) did a great job of being leaders tonight. They kind of rode Carrie Moore there down the stretch. |
I think they had the emotional edge on us for sure and I thought they did a great job coming out of the gates and proving they wanted to win this one. |
I think when you become a really good team, that every time you take the floor, you don't care who you're going against. I think our kids have that mindset. |
