Kevin Wright Game Quotations

The pressure started getting to them. The fatigue was there. You add another minute to the game and the game was ours.

We're going to focus in on this game and let the other one take care of itself. I mean, we've been pretty much since that last game looking forward to playing them two times in a week.

After that, we played great team basketball -- we dominated the game defensively.

I never dreamed we'd have a basketball score. We knew (East St. Louis) had athletes, but their speed makes them big-time people. We were trying not to let the game become a track meet, but that's what it turned into.

They had a good game plan by spreading us out and making us chase them all over the field with their short passing game. We definitely did some things right, but there were some other times when we didn't execute like we needed to. I told our team that this is our first game, and all it really means is we're 1-0.
