It is unfortunate that we have to sit back and wait to see what happens. We came out tonight and could not get it done. We played hard all night, but did not play tough for 40 minutes, and that is what you have to do to win on the road.

ball explained feels floor good half job necessary needed passed percent played second shot unselfish
We played really well today. We were very unselfish and passed the ball well. They shot more than 50 percent from the floor in the first half and I explained to them that we needed to do a better job of contesting shots. In the second half, we made the necessary adjustments and it really feels good to get this first one on the road.

We just did not shoot the ball well tonight. We were able to cut the lead late because our guys really hung in there and played hard until the end. Now we have to get ready for two more tough games on the road, but I really think that this is going to be a fun team to coach for the rest of the year.

We played like we had been off for 13 days. Tonight was the first time during the lay-off that I felt we did not give maximum effort. I was very disappointed in our effort tonight and we will certainly address that when we get back and before Saturday.
alan came close difference excited game guys happen locker next practices room shots shut tournament treat
I never close my practices and I shut it down on Friday. I was really excited about the way that they came out and responded. Alan Daniels was the difference tonight. He made some shots that we contested, but he made the shots. I told the guys in the locker room that I do not know what is going to happen from here on out, but we have to treat our next game as a tournament good.

It seemed like we were playing in mud tonight. Unfortunately, the young guys that we rely are used to playing on Tuesday and Friday in high school and just could not find it. Give Stephen F. Austin the credit - they made the plays when they had to.

They come out like a veteran team. They are a good team.
driving excuses games help plays settle stop struggle tony
Tony has to settle down and let the plays come to him. When he struggles, we struggle. We are 12 games into the season, so I have to stop making excuses for him. I have to keep driving him, not let up, and help him become a better player.

This one was a tough one to take. We did not shoot the ball well, but still ended up shooting better than they did. We did all the little things to win, but made some critical mistakes down the stretch. Now, we just have to keep telling our guys to hold their heads high and get ready for Nicholls State on Saturday.

Southeastern has a similar record to us, but start two seniors and three juniors. We will have to go down there and be ready for a tough game. Our goal though has to be to keep working hard and try to get better everyday.
