“Our senior leadership has been better than that. They have to step and take charge. I tried to play nice, but they were a little too timid [with the ball].”
“We got a little careless with the ball. We turned and threw it right to them a couple times. You can't defend turnovers. They're a really skilled team; we're an effort team.”
“I was happy [giving up only 46]. We needed to pressure them on our offense a little better in the second half and get to the line. They played hard, but we're a better offensive team than that.”
“There might not be as many outstanding shooters who would get a quick shot, so teams have to work the ball around a little more. Ours is really on a need basis. We have one double-figure scorer [Derek Adams]. We're trying to run offense. We've actually held the ball more in past years trying to spread people out when we were ahead.”
“I know enough to get the ball in [Adams'] hands. He wants the ball all the time in those spots. He gets it at the end of every quarter. He's a difficult [player to] guard because he's so long.”
