Jay Karlins Game Quotations

We played hard but it's a matter of learning how to win. We had good looks but we made some mistakes down the stretch and you can't do that against a good team. When you play a freshman and two sophomores for most of the game you have to take the bad with the good.

This was like a playoff game for us. I thought if we could get this one and even with Hillhouse coming up next we had four games left I thought we could win. Now the Hillhouse game becomes a playoff game.

We got nothing from our big men. (Andrew) Zimmer was in foul trouble all game and they dominated both ends of the glass. The last two games we improved each time out. Tonight we took a step backwards. We need to learn from this and move on. There's 17 games left.

As bad as we played defensively we were in the game the first half but then we come out and take the third quarter off. We're one shooter away. Dave (LeBlanc) had a great game but we didn't get much from anyone else.

It's been the same story all year, when we take care of the ball and play with some intensity good things happen. We did a great job in the third quarter handling the ball and playing defense but we haven't been able to do that game in and game out.
