Jay Sparks Good Quotations

We were trying to take it right to them, but we didn't do a very good job of that. We could throw it in there, but we didn't do a very good job of being aggressive once we got there.

The whole first half they wanted me to tell them what to do based on our set plays. Outside of maybe one possession in the second half, we didn't run a set play. We just played basketball, and I thought that was good for us.

They are a very good basketball team and we knew that coming in. They deserved to win this game because they did everything they needed to do to win. We didn't do that... . They were at least 23 points better than us tonight, if not more.

There were a few good performances out there, but, truthfully, there weren't enough of them. We will hopefully take what we learned in this game tonight and apply it toward getting better on Friday. We have to have some people step up and play the way they are capable of playing if we are going to be successful the rest of the year.

I do feel like we got a good draw on the bracket, but it doesn't take away the fact that you still have to win four games in five days. Our team hasn't proven that they can play quite that consistently for that period of time. Of course, I'd love to see it.
