Ron Jirsa Effort Quotations

We've been trying to get a great effort. I think this was our best effort game since I've been here.

I think we played hard enough and with effort but we didn't make plays down the stretch. We have to make shots when we're doing the hard work.

We've relied on our effort level and our poise and we didn't have either one tonight. Our effort level in the first half was a big key. We did not have great effort and we needed to have great effort.

The effort has been better. It's defensive execution and effort. It's offensive effort and poise.

They have great poise and when you mix poise with balance it gives you a chance to win every night. When you're playing a team with tremendous poise you have to have that yourself. We've got to duplicate that effort and go beyond that to get a win that's needed.
