They just wanted it more. We did all the right things in the first 12 minutes, and did all the wrong things from then on out.
They were attacking the basket and the officials were calling everything for them. What else can you do? ... We knew they would come out and push the ball. We weren't ready for it.
What I've heard is that he doesn't have a lot of heart. If I don't like what I see, I'll say, 'Hey, you can't let guys run over you.'
What I've heard is he doesn't have a lot of heart.
Don't give up on us. We just didn't rebound the ball well, which has been hurting us all year, and the turnovers. If we can stay between 12 and 13 turnovers, we'll be fine.
We wanted to tell the younger guys it was just one game.
Every game is important in the last 20 games; you have to win as many as you can. Whoever is playing the best basketball is going to go to the playoffs. We have to get every win we can and play well.
This game is about heart and being competitive. It doesn't matter what you did in the regular season, it's about what you do in the playoffs. ... It's embarrassing. I've never been swept in the playoffs.
I was shocked at how they played us and the confidence they had. They were arrogant and that's how you have to be. They had that mentality of 'I'm going in the arena and beat their (butts).' We didn't have that.
At least four or five games have got away from us because of free-throw shooting.
It's like we're high school kids and they're professional athletes.
I tried to make it an interesting game, but Brad hit some big shots. We need to battle back and find some way to get this thing turned around.
It's the defense. Our defense has been extremely good all year. We're working and making it tough for teams out there, making them miss and take tough shots. Defense is what gets it all going for us.
It's a blessing to be back in Salisbury and see the boys and girls play. And just to be around the community.
