“To say I am disappointed and/or frustrated with our effort, especially in the first half, would be a vast understatement as to how I feel. We did not have an answer for their big guy. All he did was post up, and we couldn't move him.”
“I don't remember a night like he had in my 30 years of coaching. They moved the ball around from side-to-side, and either they shot or they went inside.”
“There were five situations on their free throws where we had four guys in the lane to their two, and they still came up with the rebound. That's unconscionable. To me, that's the worst play in basketball - and it happened five times.”
“All he did was post up. We couldn't move him. I don't remember a night like that in my 30 years of coaching. I'm not saying he's the best big guy I've ever seen, but he had a career night.”
“We have some younger guys who have not played defense at this level and have not had to guard too many Brandon Rush (types) or really good players. It's going to take time to adjust keeping those guys in front of them.”
“We weren't strong enough to get the ball out of his hands or strong enough to stop him from catching the ball. I have no other explanation than that.”
