Steve Monks Quotations

I think we need to do a better job of defending all their screens they set to get those two open.

I was proud of the way the kids regained their composure and fought back into the game. It showed a lot character.

We played very well down the stretch. Wicks and (Bryan) Mathews both knocked down key free throws. Each of them was 2-for-2.

Those folks do polls every day. If anybody can put a poll together, it's those guys.

I see three reasons why we lost. We did not hit the big shots when we needed them, we couldn't get any consecutive scores when we needed a run, and coach Monks didn't change defenses and go to the man pressure earlier in the fourth quarter.

They ran the shot clock down to 12 seconds every time before they made a play. It frustrated us at both ends of the floor.

He's quicker to the ball. He provided a big spark off the bench.

That lifted our momentum. He and Matt Warner dominated the game.

I don't mind some turnovers when we're trapped or pressed, but a lot of them were unforced. We were careless with the ball.
