chance game happen playing ready thursday win worst
We're disappointed. But it isn't the worst thing that will happen to us in our lives. We still have a chance to keep playing and we're going to get ready for our NIT game on Thursday and try to do everything we can do to win that tournament.
apparently below game high hit played shame
Loren is hurting, and he was apparently hit below the belt. If that happened, it's a shame in a game played at such a high level.
games speaks win
Staggering. You win that many games in CYO and it is a lot. To do it where he's done it speaks volumes.
foul game
I thought we had the game won. The foul on the 3-point jumper, I don't know man. It didn't look like it was much.
game involved wild
That was as wild a game as I've ever been involved in.
games guess gut teams win
I guess that's how teams that win 22 games do it. You just find a way to gut it out and win.
came games great kids
It should be a great game. This is what it's all about. This is why these kids came to Hofstra - to play in games like this.
year
This was a building-block year for us. We can only get better from here.
knock ourselves proud
We had to go to the rope-a-dope a while, kind of get ourselves back in the fight, but they didn't knock us out, and I'm proud of that.
basketball caught good hard third time whether
I don't get caught up in that. I just know it's hard to be a good basketball team, whether it's the first or third time you play them.
among bring coaches guys overseas players
Many of them are among the better players in the conference. You don't see coaches going overseas to bring back guys who aren't going to play. They have to be high-level players.
allowed couple expect plays
We made a couple of bonehead plays late, things we don't expect out of our veterans, and that allowed them back in the game.
anyone good half seen since
That was as good a first half as I've seen anyone play since I've been at Hofstra.
ball
I think they got every 50-50 ball there was to get.
