“I think they responded well and now we are looking forward to playing two more games. Any time you can get kids on the floor it's good. Things didn't really go our way early, but they found a way to pick up their defense and did a good job. It was a great day for our program.”
“We challenged them before the game and I think they did a good job. We have always emphasized free throw shooting and today we were 14-for-18. That made a huge difference in the outcome of the game.”
“Our defensive intensity just wasn't there today. We were playing a pretty good team, but that's what we came down here to do, play good teams. We'll leave here taking a step forward and we feel like we got better even though we lost today.”
