“Robert Morris is a smaller team and we could have used John, but I needed to make sure all my players know that is not how we do things here. The immediate impact might hurt us, but as a coach you have to think about the future and that is what I am doing. It will hurt, though.”
“I feel like we have been pretty consistent. We are getting better each game and once we are done with all the suspensions and our point guard is totally healthy, we will be even better.”
“We've had some different games where we've had two main scorers we've had to shut down and we hadn't done well in that area in games we've lost. Hopefully in this game we can hold those two guys down. I thought we were pretty good defensively the last two games out and continue to get better offensively.”
“Robert Morris exploited some of our weaknesses last time. They also took advantage of their strengths and really attacked us. (Sophomore guard) Tony Lee really hurt us.”
“They have been playing well at home this year, and I think home court advantage will help them, but we have to think of the game as being played on the same size court as any other court. But I know that players definitely are more comfortable on their own court.”
