Joe Macri Quotations

Chris is a good athlete. With his size and quickness he's not going to give you an easy shot.

It felt good to finish one off tonight. We got up double digits in the third quarter because we were able to break their press and we got some easy looks and we were able to keep building the lead.

It feels good to break the ice. I think the kids will loosen up a little bit now. We've been in some tight games lately and it's nice to finally hang in there and get a win.

You know it's going to be a low-scoring game and we missed way too many easy shots. Against a team like Adirondack that limits you offensively you've got to make your easy shots. Not making those shots just killed us in the long run.

We scored 33 points in the first half. I was pretty happy offensively but you can't give up 45 points in a half.

Even if they get down 10 or 12 points, the way they hit the boards they're still in the game.

This is a tough one to swallow. I think I'd rather get beat by 25 or 30 than get beat by a point.

It's tough when you lose by three. You get a point here or there and you only have to go for two at the end instead of needing a three.

The kids played as hard as they could have played tonight. I'm very pleased with the overall effort. This is definitely a game to build on. If we play the way we did tonight we should be OK the rest of the season.

It would allow for more competition to come to the mat.

The game went back and forth for the most part. We couldn't get it to double digits. We'd make a little run and they'd come back with a couple baskets to keep it within reach.

For an 8-9 game, I don't know, it seemed more like an 8-1 game.

We had the recipe that we needed to win tonight. We just didn't put the icing on the top.

It was a mix of us not playing good defense and they shot the ball well. We looked out of sorts.
