Right now we're still trying to search for that win. It doesn't get any easier. ... It's all in our control. We're the ones playing. All the coaching staff can do is continue to create strategies and game plans for us to go out and execute. We have to play the game.
expect finish games last league lose row top
This is the same predicament we were in last year. We can't lose this many games in a row in league and expect to finish in the top half.
cap eight games jimmy nine owe season senior teammates
Where is there to quit? We've still got eight or nine games left. The season is still not over. I owe it to Jimmy and Cap (Kevin Young), it's their senior seasons, and to myself and my teammates not to quit.
bad evident game perform shots wanting
In a big game you always want to perform well, and I think I was just a little over-anxious in the first half. I think that was evident in my shots going long or short, kind of wanting to get that first shot so bad to go in.
accustomed conscious early effort games gone heart hurt losing people played players streak throughout tried
I think it was just a conscious effort just to play better. I think if we had played like this throughout this losing streak a lot of games would have gone differently. I thought tonight, after the game a lot of players really hurt because of the loss. Early with a loss, we'd just get accustomed to it. This is a game that really hurt because I think that people really played their heart out and really tried to win.
happened justify leader perspective played power second team today totally
I need to do everything in my power to show that I'm with this team. As a leader of the team you really can't justify what happened today (Saturday). I have a totally different perspective on my team. They showed a lot of heart. Hopefully, I can get back in there and play the same way they played in the second half.
chance coaches including sit talk
I've had a chance to sit down and talk with everyone involved, my family, coaches and teammates, and everyone has been so supportive, including our fans.
best faced four three tough turned
It was one of the best defenses that I've faced all year. They made it tough for me to get open. I turned it over three or four times, I've got to get better.
missed
We missed 17 (shots) in a row? We really did?
against foul heart kevin luckily missed reaching shots year
Those shots have been going in all year against us. My heart kind of dropped. Luckily, he missed it, and luckily Kevin (Young) didn't get called for a foul for reaching in.
coach earlier easier knew quit type
We knew Coach Snyder wasn't that type of guy. It would have been easier for him to quit earlier in the season, but we've been through so much we knew he didn't quit.
arena ball blame favorite hoops liked
This is probably my least favorite arena to play in. We really can't blame it on the arena. The hoops are still 10 feet. You still have to put the ball in the hole. But I just never really liked it. That's just my own opinion.
coach continue guy playing senior thinking year
Coach Snyder is the guy I want to play for, and I'm going to continue to play for. My senior year I want to play for Coach Snyder. ... It's not something that I'm thinking about right now because I'm playing for him right now, but at the end of the year, when the season's over ...
coach gave half
Coach said in the first half he thought I gave up on my team.
