“You have to make free throws and we didn't. Both teams were good defensively, but we missed a lot of close shots. Our inexperience is showing at key spots.”
“The injuries have been tough on us. We've been through a lot. We've lost nine players because of Hurricane Katrina. Our two best players have missed a lot of playing time.”
“We've got to stop them from shooting the 3's and contest their three guards. We want to keep Luther Suggs off the backboards and contain Justin Ray, who is one of the best guards in the state.”
“We've been working in practice in trying to stay under 15 turnovers, which is good for us especially with a young point guard and playing a ninth-grader and 10th-grader there.”
