Famous quotes by Rich Herrin:
"The guys thought we could just throw them out there and they would win. We have to have a mental toughness and take that approach into every game."
"We didn't cover the three and all we had to do was put a hand in their face and make them put it on the floor."
"The effort was not there like it should've been. It takes everybody on the whole team playing hard. We're a good team when we give an effort."
"We started so good and then we relaxed a little bit and they played very aggressive. They're a good ball club. We'd have sure liked to win two and we didn't get it done, but at least we're playing and having some fun."
"Any time we win it's because we've played hard. I told the kids two things: One, you'll have a lot more left at the end when you've played hard, and, two, the harder you play the luckier you get."
"When you can shoot the ball like we did early, and you get off to a good start, good things are going to happen. We got good, balanced scoring from Kendrick (12), Simmons, Allen, and Childers (9) and we benefited from some good, easy buckets."
"We didn't really take advantage on the boards like we should have but, hey, it's a nice victory. We have to work for everything we get and it's nice that at least we're not in the cellar of the league now."
"We had a big lead and thought we had it made, but we relaxed a little bit and they battled back. I'm a great believer you have to be ready to play 32 minutes of basketball if that's what your coach asks of you. I don't think we got that tonight."
"We made some good passes that allowed Childers to finish. He really played a tremendous basketball game."
"What really happened in the third quarter is they scored three buckets before we could get a timeout. We're in a 2-1-2 zone that should have been able to stop them and they just took it right down the middle on us. Those first three or four minutes of the second half are very important."
