harder worse
We were slow, sluggish. It was like we didn't have our legs. It was like the harder you try, the harder you play, the worse it gets. It wasn't smooth.
good tried
We were going inside. We just tried to get a good shot.
call dead last minutes playing start until whatever
We really didn't start playing until the last 15 minutes of the game. I don't know why, but we were dead in the first half. We just didn't have that jump, that step, that whatever you call it. That energy. We didn't come out with any energy.

We can't worry about what just happened. We have to look forward to the future. We have to keep on improving and not getting complacent, not feeling comfortable.

We have to stay focused on Monmouth. We have to protect our home court. That is so important in this league.

We've been in that situation before and we haven't done a great job of closing out games. It was a tough shot. When it comes down to the playoffs and two teams have equal talent, a lot of it's luck.

We don't have anybody in Moon Township who's 7-2, 320 pounds. I don't think there's anybody in Pennsylvania who's 7-2, 320 pounds.

We made some dumb decisions in the end of the game, but overall, I was pleased with our defense. We didn't shoot well, but we did other things well.
francis good hard itching job seem slow stopping time
We started off too slow and didn't seem to have our legs. I think they were itching to play because of the time off, and it was hard to get back into it. But give St. Francis credit. They made a run, and we didn't do a good job stopping it.

Those four guys are the foundation for this team, and I wanted to make sure we were all on the same page. They needed to be reminded of my expectations. They are the spokesmen for this team.

We need people who can defend the other big guys in the league, and he'll benefit us. You can't teach height. We'll need patience, but he can be a difference-maker. He's going to have a chance to be a very good player.

We were attacking their man-to-man well, and they're mostly a man-to-man team. Their zone gave us problems. We didn't attack it right. Their zone beat us.
