“I thought we had a shot there when we hit those threes. But we were all on the bench when Hay hit his three and we all thought, 'Great, he's shooting threes in the last minute of the game.' That was kind of the death bell for us.”
“We just didn't come out with any energy whatsoever. It wasn't one or two guys, it was most of the team. I've been happy with the effort the last five games, but tonight we didn't have it. We're not that good a team that we can just show up and win. We went through the motions tonight.”
“We've got a young team and we're hoping to come on. They're getting better, but we want to bring them up with warp speed, and it's like a turtle's pace.”
“I told the guys at halftime we had to get some full court pressure going and hopefully get them to turn it over. We really worked hard defensively, got some steals and converted.”
“I was hoping we'd have enough energy to sustain. But in a rivalry like this, sometimes guys dig a little deeper than they normally do. They had more energy than I thought they would. This is a great win for the Cadets.”
