Allan Ray Knew Quotations

Monmouth is a great defensive team or they wouldn't be here. This is the NCAA Tournament and there are a lot of great teams here. We kept our composure. We knew there were times when we weren't going to be able to score, but that's when we relied on our defense to keep us in the game.

We didn't sit back and start thinking we were going to lose. We talked in the huddle, and everybody said that we just had to stay calm and not panic. We knew they would make a run. Once you panic, bad things happen.

We knew we never should have been in that position last year anyway for the game to be decided on that call.

Definitely, we all talked about it. We knew how they came in here and beat us pretty heavily last year. We didn't want to let that happen again, so we just came out with a great mindset, great intensity and really focused on our game plan.

Once my vision came back and was clear and not blurry anymore, I knew I could come out and play.

We knew about Monmouth, we knew they were a very good team. We definitely didn't underestimate them.
