Orlando Early Game Quotations

We really got their attention tonight at halftime. We knew going into the game that they (UTA) was a good rebounding team. Early in the game, we were not getting out and contesting shots and they responded by shooting 62 percent.

I have my hands around the problem, we're not good enough yet. I have some young guys that are decently talented, but aren't ready yet. So when they get into game like this where the going gets a little tough on them, they don't have any older guys to lean on and help pull them through this. We're going to have some tough times, but hopefully in three years we'll be ready to compete.

Texas State has not won a league game yet but are hungry for their first. They play very hard as a team, so we will have to come out ready to compete.

This is a game that is big for our guys. We have to treat this game like our first game in the Southland tournament. We have been working hard to play ULM basketball and in the second half against Lamar, we did that well. Hopefully we will be able to put 40 minutes together tomorrow.

I never close my practices and I shut it down on Friday. I was really excited about the way that they came out and responded. Alan Daniels was the difference tonight. He made some shots that we contested, but he made the shots. I told the guys in the locker room that I do not know what is going to happen from here on out, but we have to treat our next game as a tournament good.
