Pat Flannery Played Quotations

I think the kids were really focused. There was an edge to everybody. As we went out there, we knew we were going to get American's best shot. We always played good defense.

You knew they were going to hit some deep shots, and we just had to keep grinding and grinding. I thought Donald Brown on the boards in the second half really mixed it up. I thought we played with great energy in the second half.

To be honest, we don't know a whole lot yet about Arkansas, other than that they played very good basketball down the stretch.

I think our kids were a little rushed. It's playoffs and we played that way. We played really fast.

That?s pretty impressive, nationally, that they think of us as a ninth seed. I think it?s recognition of who we played and who we beat.
