Don Allen Quarter Quotations

I don't think we were working very hard on defense. Offensively, we just looked out of 'sync. They're pretty successful one-on-one and they'll break you down off the dribble. That's not us and that's what we tried for a quarter and a half. Then we had to dig ourselves out of a hole.

I think the first quarter and the last minute of the second half decided the basketball game. Then we give up a 10-point lead. If we would've went into the locker room up 12 instead of six, I think that changes the whole complexion of the basketball game.

I think in the fourth quarter we got worn down. I'm pleased with the effort. We hit a few open shots that opened up our offensive a little more.

At that point, everybody was focused. We climbed a hill and got back into the game. We cut it down to one quarter of basketball.

The bottom line is they knocked them down in the fourth quarter when they needed to. We've executed our offense pretty well the last couple ballgames. We executed well on both ends of the floor.
